This is the view from some 1000m above Landmannalaugar, looking southeast towards the Hrafntinnusker ridge. 11pm, the sun going down low over the horizon, and the wonderful creases in this landscape, combined with rhyolite rock that is stained hundreds of colours meant for a glorious scene. The light show lasted but five minutes - the cloud during the day had been intermittent but closed in only five minutes after a gap had opened, and the golden rays of the sun disappeared till the next morning. Thankfully I was ready for this, and managed to get this shot composed and take before the scene lost much of its colour. To give a sense of scale - the river flowing in the valley way below is probably about twice as wide as the average 4x4 off-roader. If there is any human in this photo, they're going to be pretty invisible at this range!!

Loads of interest here! I can (and will) spend a lot of time imagining each of those ridges being formed and what it all looked like then. The color and the light are superb.

What beautiful scenery you've captured at the ideal time of day -- the low sun angle really brought out the details. Sharp image with great colors and nicely composed. Very high marks. Thanks for posting.

Absolutely breathtaking! I would never see these places if not for you and you share them with photos taken at moments of over the top beauty.

Rarely do we get treated to an image from Iceland, and this is indeed superb, James. I'm sure this will do very well in the voting booth. If I see it, it will certainly get my ten...Neil

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Everytime I think my photography is going somewhere someone like you comes along to remind me how insignificant it still is. Thanks for the kick in the butt. I continue to be drawn to your gallery, anticipating new work... Keep up the excellent work and thanks for providing people like me the opportunity to view your work.

Art is the element that keeps the human race sane, he that does not appreciate art in any form is a lifeless fool...
Very nice. I like the colors and shadows. Nicely done.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

What an incredible capture. The light and texture of the mountains is amazing. It's so desolate and yet I wish I could see it in person.

An image is a door to your soul, your imagination is the key that opens that door.
Okay, this is just about the most fantastically spectacular photograph I've ever seen. The detail, the light/shadows and the view are just amazing.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
This is one of the best pictures I have ever seen. A new favorite. =]
