Taken at Jokulsarlon ice lagoon in Iceland. It's an incredible place whenever you go but for me the magic started happening around sunset, as the beautiful golden hour light began illuminating the ice from behind. I noticed this particular shard of ice lit up in perfect contrast to the icebergs around it, its bright blue colour glowing like a jewel in the lagoon.

Beautiful photo. The weather was dogshit when I went there, but it was great nonetheless. My favourite part of Iceland was the region around lake Myvatn, so little tourists (at least back then) and so much stuff to see.

I straight up thought this was a water color painting at first.

Stunning.

Iceland is endlessly photogenic, but even still, very few of the photos really seem to capture the magic of the place. This one does. Incredible.

I went 5 years ago and still think about it every day. Also, if you feel like it, I'm sure r/VisitingIceland would like this, as well.

My brother had a destination wedding in Iceland and I'm so glad I went. I would have likely never visited there on my own volition but that whole country is so damn beautiful. Zero regrets. I even want to go back one day.

When I went, we walked down the glacial river to the mouth afterwards. Just the beautiful colors in the ice compared to the stark black-sand beach and endless waves. So ethereally gorgeous.

My partner and I joke that we will name one of our kids Jokulsarlon because it just rolls off the tongue.

This so reminds me of an old website I used to use that was focused specifically on color pallette design. And every time I try to remember the name, there's some weird block in my memory.

But, regardless, this photo is spectacular. I've never been to Iceland (so it may just be my synesthesia talking here) but...this image really evokes a distinct feeling. As all true art does, IMHO.

Thank you very much for this share. ❤️‍🔥

:) If this image violates the "Some visible land..." rule, I'd vote for adjusting the rule rather than eliminating images like this. To me, this embodies why I follow this subreddit perfectly. I can't tell... maybe that's land in the background, and I think I can make out a little detail so maybe it doesn't count as a silhouette. :)

Been there. No one believes that this is simply a hop skip and a jump from the main road. Got to watch a couple seals play in the bay.

Try to make it to Iceland. You won't regret it. Across the road from OP's image is the black sand beach. Imagine seeing such beauty back to back. That's basically all of Iceland!

I visited Iceland with my wife in March of 2016, and we had planned to drives early in the morning to see the sunrise here. I had planned on proposing that morning.

The day before were walking around one of the many gorgeous waterfalls in Iceland, and we decided to follow a path leading away from where all the other tourists were. We found a secret waterfall that was hidden within a very short tunnel/cave. I said to hell with the plan and decided this was the spot. I told my wife I was setting ip the camera to get a picture of us, then proposed. She said yes, we’re happily married, yada yada yada. All this to say, Iceland is great.

Funny story though. The next day our car got stuck for 8 hours on the road because I tried to plow through a pile of snow drift on our way to Jokulsarlon. We never made it there, so good thing I asked the day before.

that's very kind of you to say, glad to hear it. I've not talked about it a lot to be honest but did recently do this interview which sort of offers some detail. I shoot both digital and film but like to try and emulate certain qualities of film with my digital work (like this one) such as grain structures and tonal qualities. Thanks again for the comment, always happy to answer questions

On the other hand, my experience at Myvatn was flies, flies, and more flies!! I would not go anywhere near summer time. Otherwise it’s beautiful. Also, Myvatn’s hot springs need hotter water lol.

Lol, I know that exact place, we visited in 2021. It is much more well known now! Too many people taking photos there to even really enter and explore. I'm glad you got to see it without the masses, I bet it felt incredible to stumble onto.

Are you sure that this isn't just the album cover from some prog rock band?
