I’ve avoided this photo for awhile, mostly because it was so busy I didn’t really know how to edit it. Looking at it with fresh eyes, I like the way the misty day and soft green moss leads you to the intricate and weird patterns in the tafoni rock. Take a short hike from Skyline Boulevard and you too could check out these interesting rocks.
The daylight was almost completely gone with just a little purple left in the sky. The front of The Peninsula Hotel is usually a dramatic view, but was really fantastic with many red lanterns lighting it up.
I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of horses. I’d rather walk or bike than ride a horse, but Icelandic horses make me think differently. Their main job must be to hang around and look very majestic. This group absolutely posed themselves just perfectly in this arrangement because they knew I was coming, no doubt about it!
It is hard to find a bad angle when you have both a waterfall and a unique mountain to work with! I didn’t waste any time and setup for this long exposure to get both the flowing water and the peak of Kirkjufell hiding in the clouds.
