This image is from Iceland and a beach close to a glacial lagoon. What happens is this large glacier produces icebergs and these icebergs float around in this giant glacial lagoon. eventually they find their way to the ocean. There they float and eventually get thrown up on shore and left there at low tide. It is amazing to walk onto this black sand beach and see these bergs. Hundreds of them on a typical low tide as far as you can see. Each one beautiful. You could spend hours there shooting.
Ice in Iceland of course. This image was shot in Iceland at the Glacial Lagoon. You could spend all day there shooting. Tough part is editing all the great images that you have photographed. This image was shot in a heavy wind with a long lens. The long lens compresses the shot. The pattern and color carrty off the rest really well.
I do like cold places and I am always fascinated by ice. Some of my best photos are of ice. This shot was part of a series of close-ups of ice taken on an iceberg beach in Iceland. The story is that there is a glacier nearby and as the glacier calves, the icebergs slowly flow out o t the ocean. At high tide they are pushed to the beach and when the tide goes out they are stranded. The beach is littered with icebergs. Some as big as a house or car and some the size of baseballs. They are like finding diamonds. I like this one and others like it as the light comes through and reveals the beautiful patterns the icebergs have. Look for more in the near future.

This beautiful photo was taken in Iceland a few months ago. Needless to say I am in love with this magnificent country and look forward to many return trips. It is photo rich as we would say. This is one of hundreds of waterfalls around Iceland. I like this just because it has a different shape than others. The valley in the background also adds to it.
