Last one from Iceland

Image
 For completeness I thought I would publish a few pictures of Reykjavik. These were taken at dusk using a tripod for the longer exposures. There is a panorama of the waterfront from 12 shots and I am also including one picture of a window  which can be seen walking through to the gates at Keflavik airport. For a stay of only 4 days I got an awful lot out of Iceland and I can't wait to get back there. I am pleased I went in the winter (although there was no aurora while I was there) but I would like to go again in the spring or autumn, with a car and for longer.

Iceland Lava Fields

Image
South Iceland  has expanses of black lava fields, overgrown in many places by green lichen. They give a very dramatic look to the mountainous landscape. On the road between Reykjavik and Keflavik the landscape is flatter and the desolate lava field looks extremely minimilist, with little habitation and nothing to interrupt the endless view of jumbled rocks.

This has been through Colour Effex 4 On the road to Pingvellir 2 converted to B&W with Silver Effex 2 The road to Keflavik The minimalist landscape gives an almost Gursky feel
