Iceland

The northern lights dance over the mountains and glacier and reflect in the water of the lagoon.

The iconic black sand beach in southern Iceland. Here chunks of ice have been washed ashore after melting from icebergs emerging from the nearby lagoon.

Hellnar is on the Snaefellsness peninsula in Iceland and plays host to a dramatic series of basalt cliffs. This image was made around midnight - these lenticular clouds just kept getting better and better. I finally had to pull myself away around 12.30 and go to bed in anticipation of a 3am wakeup for sunrise.

A river rages over a small waterfall in the highlands of Iceland. Stormy clouds brood over mountains in the distance.

Barnafoss (Childern's Waterfall) is in Western Iceland and while not the biggest or most powerful in the country, it's certainly one of the most impressive. A massive volume of water roars through this narrow canyon and in this photograph I attempted to capture a sense of that.

The beach at Búðir at first was uninspiring, but walking further along reveals a wonderland of boulders and rock formations. This image was made after scrambling over seaweed covered boulders to a relatively flat raised platform. The light lent itself to a black and white interpretation and the lenticular clouds over the distant mountains complements the form of the water between the foreground rocks.
A one minute exposure was used to blur the water.
