You've got to love a country which has public sculpture like this. It's on the harbourfront, and is equally dramatic day & night; this was taken around midnight on a v long exposure. I just discovered that there's a whole group on Flickr dedicated to it! If you like this pic, click to the group - there's some amazing shots there...

Great picture, and welcome to the Sólfar group! I'm amazed and delighted at the great variety of images we have so far! I have been to Iceland twice, a few years apart, and without meaning to took two photographs that are practically identical except for the color of the sky. Now I see all these different shots, and wonder why I didn't go back at night, stand over here, stand over there, etc.!

Fantastic Viking boat.
Terrific night time shot.
Reminds me that I wanted to get into that this winter ....
Thanks for your kind comment. The trouble with sunbeams is that one can't process much, or one gets serious white out. All I did - or needed to do - with this one was some sharpening afer downsizing.
Not like this early one:

Ugh! Too much contrast - but I was using Picasa at the time ...

A wonderful low light photo of the Sólfar. I love the colours. The dusk-time blue sky and the golden tones created by artificial light and reflected off the brushed metal are warm and cold at the same time. Just like this wind-swept place.

Ha, when did you start using this picture as your icon? I love it! Bringing back a lot of nice memories of my (way too short) trip to Iceland... :-)

@Dappers: Thank you! I've been using it from the beginning - as the first photograph on my stream, it seemed appropriate :)
