The view to the coast from a few km above Skogarfoss. It had been completely obscured by cloud on my way up, not encouraging me for the next day's journey, but as I turned to head back down, the clouds lifted for a few minutes and I got this view, 10pm beginning-darkness, daggered mountains crowned by the remnants of the drifting fog, and a hundred metres below me the powerful river forcing its way down the mountain. As usual I maxxed out the f/value and let the water drift its lines into the photo.

Wonderful picture. Love that fog and the water is amazing. Excellent as always.
Did you catch some horses in the wild on Iceland?

That is a wonderful atmospheric photograph. It has a sombre mood to it yet the river seems bright and lively. I like the way the river leads my eye through the scene letting me pause to examine areas of interest. Excellent.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Terrific picture of beautiful nature in a beautiful and rough country. I have never been in Iceland, this way, however, gladly want. Shining.

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil

I am looking forward to finding this photo among the best in Caedes pretty soon, - ........as I viewed your work I was excited by its dramatic and painterly quality! You have indeed captured the mystery and your photo is exquisite and dare I say, sublime.

A most gorgeous landscape, full of drama. I love the darkness, the bleak aspect and the shining water. Fantastic work. :)

Life isn't about the number of breaths you take, it's about the moments that take your breath away.

truly amazing. 10pm at night? The Icelandic summer I guess. Cannot and don't want to find any faults with this. A moment caught forever....
