Glory of Light

Onundarfjordur,

Iceland

 

This location is in the West Fjords of Iceland , home to some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country. As stunning as the scenery is, the light in summer and the direction it travels is something we do not experience back home in Australia. The sunset is almost horizontal and hence the light seems to be cast horizontally on the mountains as seen at the base of the mountains on the right. On this night, we had complete stillness for a time which had us searching for a spot near the Korpudalur youth hostel (highly recommended) to set up and take some images. For the actual sunset, we went further to the town of Flateyri at the end of the fjord.
