Back to Vík. Shoot a week later than my last Reynsidrangar shot.
Travelling with Brian and Emily we stopped at Vík on our way back home from a 3 day trip to Skaftafell and Jökulsárlón. After staying in pouring rain for 48 hours we arrived at Vík two hours before sunset while it was still cloudy and raining but decided to stay there to see if it would clear up before the sun set. I had a hint it would reading the online weather maps. About 45 mins before sunset a small gap formed in the clouds behind the pinnacles. Knowing that the sun will set behind the pinnacles we went down to the beach while it was still raining to wait for the rays of sun to brake through the gap. Still we where unable to shoot because the wind was driving rain right into our lenses and filters. 15 mins before sunset it stopped raining and the sky started to glow with red colors. The timing was perfect and our plan paid off.
It was a nice end to a good but wet trip.

I look at gorgeous landscape photos every single day and this photo made me stop and gaze in amazement. It's truly special. Amazing clash of crispy sand and blurry water.
The colors in the sky remind me of Flash Gordon movie :)
