Iceland - Vatnajokull Glacier's Surrounding
Title for this photo could be : "Searching for me?"
If you are interested in nature, Iceland is a great place to visit. Terrain in Iceland is so rugged due to centuries of volcanic activity, this is where the US tested their lunar landing module that eventually drove on the moon! Also because of Norse woodcutting and volcanic activity, there are virtually no trees on the island! There is one small "forest" that is a national landmark.
Word has it that Leif Ericsson named Iceland and Greenland like he did to get explorers to go to Greenland (only to find millions of square miles of ice). Iceland, though Greenland's neighbor, benefits from the gulf and jet streams. However, the wind blows almost constantly and reaches 100 mph (sustained for a day or two)!
Weather in Iceland can be playful, there was a rain all day when I took this photo, but suddently at the end we had this wonderful sun coming out of dark clouds. Just to give you an idea of scale of this place - those small sticks in the ground are power pole supporting wires with electricity.

That is a really powerful shot - it must have been amazing to see it. I've heard many good things about Iceland and would like to visit - apparently, 50% of the population still believe in elves/trolls and they would make a fantastic picture! Dramatic lighting is an understatement - it looks as though it's ready to beam you up!
