@darkbeans: I climbed down there. Carefully. The whole side of the gorge isnt as steep as the opposite cliff wall on this picture.

Magnificent landscape you have to work with. There was a lot of spectacular landscape where I grew up in central Washington State (see four pix I just posted to my site). but here on Puget Sound, it is all covered with trees and you need a bleeding helocopter to see anything you might call a landscape. I like the low, wide-angle viewpoint you used here. It seems to add movement to the image.

Many places in Iceland you've shared with us I could say this about, however, I would absolutely *love* to shoot here. This is breathtaking and I would bet there is a peace for you there when you shoot (which may be true of many of your locations).

_crobin says:

The huge rock face in the center looks like a giant Key Stone to me, and the shades of the moss against the rock and water are incredibly comforting against this magnificent scene. Love it!

I do agree with BeauffiX... you must get some kind of reward for seducing people to travel to Iceland!! We have actually checked into getting visas and travel costs from Moscow. :) Maybe someday! You are lucky to live in such a beatiful place!

geezcake says:

Beautiful picture!

There is but one true God! The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is also the God and Father of Yesua, the Messiah - through whom everything was created - to who whom every one will bow - by whom all humanity will be judged.

The One true God, who has revealed himself in Jesus Christ has been forsaken by many, for "gods" that spring from the wicked imaginations of the minds of men.

If you have understanding, this picture magnifies the worth of our Lord. Creation leaves humanity without excuse before God.
