Dyrhólaey / Door Island - Mýrdalur, south coast Iceland

    Dyrhólaey "Door Island" in Mýrdalur, south coast Iceland. One of the most spectacular places in Iceland. Puffins among many other seabirds nest in these rock sculptures along the coastline. I was hoping to get some dramatic clouds to play along the sunset during this visit, or even some play of Aurora Borealis, but neether did show up, so this "blue hour" shot was the result from the shootout.
