Álfaborg ...

Álfaborg ... by asmundur.
"Elf city" was the first thing that came to my mind. It's the landscape on the top of Mt. Þorbjörn near Grindavík.

Oh yes, something is using this as a path system...maybe an elf? the textures of the rocks and mosses are wonderful and you have used the shadings to direct the eye most perfectely.

This looks like a wonderful place to hike. I would have such a great time here! I would run out of memory cards AND rolls of film! ^_^

This sort of reminds me a little of The Lord of the Rings...but not the movie as much as the book...I came up with a similar scene in my head before the movie was made...I like this better than the movie. They should film more movies where you are.

Yes, it looks that a scene from "the Lord of the Rings" (it also makes me think of the Monty Python's movie "Quest for the Holly Graal"). Great one !

I don't necessarily see "Elf City" but rather the landscape as you near Mordor. Or perhaps, something near the Dwarves' mines of Moria!

Great shot as usual Asmundur!
