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…
Lost in Iceland belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Black and White Photography, Dawn and Dusk Light, European Everyday Life (add the place!), Street Photography and Photojournalism and The Human Condition

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.
