The Lighthouse
Lighthouses are always cool, and this one especially so. The colors in Iceland always come out very nice and dreamy for some reason. Maybe it’s the elves, or maybe it is the excessive alcohol. Or maybe there is something hallucinogenic in all that rotten shark. I don't know how things become delicacies, and I am really not sure how burying shark until it ferments qualifies as one of them. I tried a bit one evening before washing it down with a bit of Brennavin, which is like Vodka but 200% more potent. It was the only thing to drink, and it acted more as a medical salve than anything else.
This was shot with a Sigma 10-20mm lens. I've since upgraded to the Nikon 12-24mm lens. However, that Sigma was a great lens and some of my best shots used it.

I like the strong yellow against the blue sky and the angle is great too! I agree that lighthouses are really cool and they're always interesting to photograph :-)

" I had been dreaming about a lighthouse. It is such a potent image; practical, because lives depend on it, and at the same time, utterly romantic, this lonely building on the cusp of land and sea, sending out light into the darkness " ~ Lighthousekeeping -Jeanette Winterson

Wow! This is by far the best image I have ever seen of this lighthouse, which is called Hólmabergsviti. I think I will eat a pound of rotten shark and flush it down with a few glasses of "Brennivín" (Black death) and find out if I can get images that look as good as this one.
