CP train 298 (Saskatoon-St. Paul) rattles the diamond with BNSF's Monticello Sub at Crystal, Minn., on a Friday morning. Scrap iron rides the head pin, but the bounty of the Canadian prairies constitute most of the tonnage today: potash, grain, and canola oil.

"The mountain photographer is interpreting the face of nature - that mysterious infinity, eternally a refuge, a reservoir, an amplifier of spirit; a mother of dreams; a positive though elusive voice in whose depth lies its subtlety."
-- Cedric Wright, 1941
I do not claim to be a "mountain photographer" per se, though I had looked forward to this particular morning at this particular place for many a year, always putting it off, never capitalizing on the idea. Recently I was corresponding with a Flickr contact whose work and sense of adventure I admire, and she was interested in places to visit near Denver / Boulder. I suggested this view might be worth the effort, and ended up joining her, a friend of hers, and a friend of mine for a full-moon hike up into the mountains to witness sunrise. Here, the Diamond, the 2400 ft. east-facing wall of granite below the summit of Longs Peak (14259 ft.), is lit up by alpenglow and reflected in the perfectly still water of Chasm Lake (11823 ft.). It was a magical morning.
On a historical note, the first summiting of Longs Peak was by the famous one-armed Civil War veteran himself, John Wesley Powell.

Diamond Beach.
Al sur del Islandia se encuentra esta maravillosa playa de arena volcánica negra.
Donde los icebergs de la laguna desembocan en la costa y crean el entorno mágico.
Los trozos de hielo gigantes parece diamantes, por las mañanas en el sol los ilumina dándoles un color azul espectacular.
The early morning sun created light patterns on the water that just glistened. The fisherman was enjoying the solitude , just him and the big lake.
Siento ser un pesado, pero es que Diamond Beach, es una playa impresionante.
Este hielo tenía el tamaño de un coche pequeño, el color azul turquesa me hipnotizó.
Espero que os guste.
Saludos.

Our next stop was the Jökulsárlón Iceberg Lagoon or Glacier Lagoon, where we witnessed our first aurora sighting but it was very weak and the next morning we went to Diamond Beach to see all the Brocken Icebergs that washout to the ocean and the waves push them back on the beach. It was very tricky to shoot them when you are not equipped to deal with the constant waves. Here are a few I managed to catch. Cherry on top, toward the end our group ran into Mads Peter Iverson and had a great time chitchatting.
Iceland rumbles and simmers with volcanic activity, so the sand at Diamond Beach is black as the sediment is formed by boiling hot lava when it hits the cool of the sea. Some chunks of ice appear as an ethereal glowing blue colour. This is because water is actually blue (not just a reflection of the sky) so when you get ice without air pockets or particularly old glacial ice, it appears blue in colour. The contrast of the sparkling blue glacial ice against the volcanic sand is what attracts photographers from far and wide.

Diamond Beach in Iceland. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and one of the most beautiful in all of Iceland.
Diamond Beach.. Finally! I've been seeing pictures of this beach for years, and I was finally able to capture this myself.
We went twice in the morning, and each time we had a beautiful sunrise.
It's a special place because it's so iconic, you want to get out of there having taken some great photos, but I can tell you that it's not easy. Given that "all photos have already been taken on this beach"; it's not easy to get out of there with an original photo that would come out of what is usually done. So there is a little pressure there.
Then it's clearly not easy to photograph. You have to manage to juggle the waves (have the right timing to capture a beautiful movement in the water), the other photographers (some don't hesitate to stand right in front of the shot you want to take, or in any case, being in the frame), and the difference in brightness between the clear sky and the foreground which is still dark (at sunrise).
(Note to myself for next time: having Softer ND filters and also Soft grads ND filters, rather than Hard ones, would make it easier to juggle with settings)
These different factors make that the pressure is there, and when I came back from that beach, despite having taken far too many photos, I was not even sure of having 1 picture that was going to meet my expectations...
Luckily in the end I was surprised during the photo editing, there are several photos that I like and that I want to share with you!
