The days end...


This place is called Jökulsárlón. It is a place where pieces from the glaciers run down to melt :o) This place is constantly changing and during the sommer time there is much more ice there...

There were 11 seals there with me FOLLOWING me around so it was hard to take pictures without them LOL..

This place is on the east end of Iceland, close to Höfn á Hornarfirði...

I went there for a reason soon to be told and then I will post some better shots from there :o)

I like the calmness, that is transported. although all the seals are probably dancing around you, while you take that picture. :)

Beautiful place, and beautiful photograph.
Somehow, your description reminds me of autumn, with its leaves falling. Only, ... a different aspect of nature :)

True, and where I live on the other side of Iceland it pretty much looks like fall :o)

Its not just the beautiful place, its being bothered to go and photograph it, and then the artistic eye to capture such a wonderful photograph, you should do a calendar or prints of your work they are amazing. Thank you also for sharing.

Acording to what i have seen their problem seems to be the huge difference in light between sky and ground. Film and ccd seems to be often unable to capture such a difference. The only option for myself is going their to see myself.
