Stone Puzzle
This is the second time I have been onto this rocky outcrop. Its on the beach below the old shack near the popular Seltjarnarnes Viti, Iceland.
I had to wade in ocean up to my knees to get there which was quite cold in winter in Iceland. Luckily the ocean was calm this day. I did not know if the tide was going up or down when I finally got there. Thinking that I was going to getting into serious trouble if it was going up I started shooting. Again luck was on my side as saw the tide go down. If it hadn´t I would have had to spend part of the night on this small rock outcrop.
The octagon shaped stones are the top of basalt columns that are not that uncommon in lava rock.
Thanks guys in advance for the comments. I read each and every one carefully and with gratitude.

Ohhhhh man that's insane, brillant how you emhasize the foreground. Love the simplicity too, man this shot rocks.
Do you know we have a similar rock formation here too, it's called Fingal Heads...black basalt rocks and a dangerous place

great shot! The rocks, the mist and the clouds all fit together perfectly to form a moment on film of synchronicity.

Ég hef skoðað allar myndirnar í photostreaminu þínu og þær eru alltaf jafn magnaðar og þessi er engin undantekning.
Elska bláa litinn.

I'm lovin' that! Stunning foreground and wonderfully executed (glad to hear a rising tide didn't trap you out there).
I was going to say the sky is a bit featureless and lacking colour, but now that I think about it I prefer it that way. The demure aspect and slight inherent malevolence is a welcome change to the sunset/sunrises I've been going through lately. Awesome shot.
