a glimpse of heaven

"Late February days; and now, at last,
Might you have thought that Winter's woe was past;
So fair the sky was and so soft the air."

William Morris

My boyfriend,Völundur, and me went for a short trip today, a beautiful but cold day,
with samples of nearly every season as we drove and hiked.
-as can be expected in Iceland in February.

racingsquirrel says:

The wide angle is fabulous to send the clouds splashing up over the horizon line and across the broad sky. I like the construction of this, using the flat of the ground as a base, the lower left as the projection point and then filling out over and to the right and up. The person at the centre of the starting point is a perfect anchor, as he helps create the upwards diagonal of the line. Splendid.
