Iceland Day 3 - Serenity

After the broken night, day three started with a visit to the popular location and national park Pingvellir. This park lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and the Eurasian tectonic plates, which makes it a fascinating landscape. On our way to the parking lot we passed this very calm lake, and I knew immediately that before we were going into the cliff, I had to walk back and make a photograph of this serenity. It lasted maybe a minute or three before the wind picked up and the reflections of this autumn coloured islands were completely gone, so I’m glad I was there at the right time.

 

Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

 

I don't put it in the description by default anymore, but for this shot I like to mention it again:

 

You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.
