Jökulsárlón sits south of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier. Huge blocks of ice calve from the glacier and those icebergs float into a lagoon ("Glacier Lagoon"). From there they keep floating towards the Atlantic Ocean, where some of them get washed ashore and sparkle on the black beach like diamonds, after having been polished by the waves. Thus, the beach designation: Diamond Beach.

 

This photo was taken at sunrise, on a glorious day, with beautiful weather. When I've arrived to the beach a couple of hours before sunrise, seals were easily seen in the water, looking for their morning's meal... And when the sun rose in the sky, well, the least we can say is that it was monumental! This place is utterly beautiful and will remain always in my memories as being the most extraordinary spot I've been in a marvellous trip to Iceland.

The full view of Diamond Head taken from Round Top.

 

Diamond Head is the name of a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu and known to Hawaiians as Lēʻahi, most likely from lae 'browridge, promontory' plus ʻahi 'tuna' because the shape of the ridgeline resembles the shape of a tuna's dorsal fin.

 

Its English name was given by British sailors in the 19th century, who mistook calcite crystals on the adjacent beach for diamonds.

That you will hear me say

That I will never run away

 

I am here for you

Love is meant for two

Why can't we just let love decide (Let love decide)

 

Am I the weaker man

Because I understand

Well once again, working on location has presented me with challenges WRT subject matter and lighting. Marybeth had to come to my rescue with just about the only stone worth photographing at my son's house other than the run of the mill wall and landscaping rock/stones one would find in New Mexico. I did consider some nice river stone that almost made a solo shot. The diamond ring wound up sitting on one. As for size, ha, no worries there, it just made it under the three inches. Marybeth has really big fingers. lol.

 

Shot with: VOIGTLANDER, 125mm f/2.5 SL, MACRO APO-LANTHAR, Single Layer shot at f/4. Sun used for light source.

The neck on which diamonds might have worthily sparkled, will look less tempting when the biting winter has hung icicles there for gems.

One of the most photographed places in Iceland and as such I was wondering if I really should upload this picture. I do however like the cold and deserted feeling in this picture and therefore, hey.....another one! I hope you do not mind.

There are still roses blooming in the garden...I couldn't resist this unfurling bud loaded with dewdrops

Merci pour vos commentaires sympathiques, et votre fidélité.

A très bientôt dans vos univers!

 

Thank you for your kind comments and fidelity.

See you soon!!

The last time I'd visited Diamond Beach near the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon in 2019 I came away feeling particularly despondent after failing to make the most of my visit. The weather conditions hadn't been favourable with heavy rain falling so I had retreated to the warmth of the campervan. It was only when I'd returned home that I realised how foolish I had been not making the most of that visit.

 

This time around I was determined not to make the same mistake!

 

Once you get onto the black sand and witness these large chunks of ice washing up along the shoreline you realise it's a magical place. The conditions were flat with drizzle in the air but thankfully light pockets of light were creeping through the clouds.

 

If you're lucky enough to catch the light the ice shines and diamond beach comes alive.

I saw the rising moon lighting-up the anvil canopy of a distant thunderstorm, and waited until the moon broke free. It created a nice effect.

Jökulsárlón sits south of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier. Vatnajökull which, with its surrounding area, form Iceland's largest national park, and the second largest in Europe.

Huge blocks of ice calve from the glacier and those icebergs float into a lagoon ("Glacier Lagoon"). From there they keep floating towards the Atlantic ocean, where some of them get washed ashore and sparkle on the black beach like diamonds, after having been polished by the waves. Thus, the beach designation: Diamond Beach.

 

This photo was taken at sunrise, on a glorious day, with beautiful weather (finally, as the two previous days had been terrible, a total loss...). When I've arrived to the beach a couple of hours before sunrise, seals were easily seen in the water, looking for their morning's meal... And when the sun rose in the sky, well, the least we can say is that it was monumental! This place is utterly beautiful and will remain always in my memories as being the most extraordinary spot I've been in that marvellous trip to Iceland.

The Diamond Firetail Finch is a highly social bird and enjoys living in pairs or small groups. They are known for their cheerful chirping and are active and playful birds that love to explore their environment. They are also intelligent birds and when kept as pets can be trained to perform simple tricks.

Ice "diamonds" glistening on the black beach...

The Diamond beach is by Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland.

The lagoon belongs to the Vatnajökull glacier national park. The glacier's name is Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, and huge blocks of ice (more than 1000-year-old) are continually breaking from it and large chunks of iceberg float in the lagoon.

Gleich neben der berühmten Jökulsarlon-Gletscherlagune findet sich der schwarze Vulkansandstrand, wo die Eisberge aus der Lagune an Land treiben und einen magischen Ort erschaffen. Die blauen, schwarzen, weißen und durchsichtigen Eisberge liegen am Strand und schmelzen langsam. Ein faszinierender Ort....

Die Eisberge kommen direkt aus einem Gletscher, dem Breidamerkurjokull, ein Ausläufer von Europas größtem Gletscher Vatnajökull.

Der Gletschersee diente bereits als Schauplatz für bekannte Filmproduktionen wie James Bond-Stirb an einem anderen Tag, James Bond 007-Im Angesicht des Todes, Tomb Raider, Beowulf & Grendel und Batman Begins.

Iceland, Diamond beach. Very strong wind.

Moving space walkway? What do you see?

The diamond blade from lightpaintingbrushes, with a strobe light for a black and white challenge

Half feeling lost,

half wanting to melt into you again.

Our eyes pondering the lines,

the curves—of our mouths

half-open, eyes half-asleep.

So we do nothing but revisit

what it is we did last night,

we imagine the tenderness,

the hopelessness,

the need, the ache for more

than was ever bargained for.

—Mason Rhett Ford

Nothing can beat a great sunset on Diamond Beach in Iceland. I'd say this is the best ice I have ever seen, like a big chunk of yellow diamond, being washed by golden water, pure and absolute. This is also my first shot by a Canon EOS camera -- 5DMark3, with 11-24 f/4 lens.
