Lost in Iceland

Lost in Iceland by Desmond Cannon

Lost in Iceland

My first visit & hopefully not my last. I was truly "Lost in Iceland" as the tee-shirts there proclaimed. I want to get lost there again right now if I could, but next time comes in June not November. I took this at Geysir, home of the original “geyser”, where hot mud bubbles & steam rises up from deep under the Earth. A place of quiet backlit wonder late on a November afternoon…

    Iceland… my biggest ambition from the age of 11 to now has been to one day visit it. Photography like this just sums up why. Beautiful, surreal, and capturing… an excellent shot.
