This is shot by a geothermal power plant close to the Blue lagoon in Reykjanes Iceland. Actually the Blue lagoon is fed by the water output from the power plant.

I was telling my friend Gilli (the bird further away) that I do not like the bird statue on the cliffs, where nature is so powerful and magnificient that it doesn't need any addition from human art.

It wasn't until I saw this photo that I realized the ugly bird statue had thrusted it's way into my picture.

... this foaming and frissy lather is, according to the folktale told by my friend Gilli, the remains of dead mermaids - a bit disgusting idea but the white looks so beautiful on black ...

... the details so delicate!

... going through this file of pictures from Reykjanesviti in Iceland I don't know where to look - and which picture to pick for an upload. My problem is a petty problem - not being able to prioritize!

I remember standing in awe on rolling rocks, these huge "pebbles" formed by powerful waves hitting the shore ... the waves have been at it for centuries, since the creation of land.

Iceland is a young land ...
... still being formed!

And facing nature's uncredible power ...
... how little do we humans know - how small are we in comparison?

Would a wave beat us?
