Wherever you look on the South coast of Iceland, there are miles and miles and miles of black volcanic sand beaches. Of course in winter when snow falls, the strong winds combine to drift the snow and create fantastic patterns on the black sand.
Here at Vik, during my last trip in February, I was lucky to capture some of these patterns in the morning before the sun got to and melted them, the sea stacks of Reynisdrangar providing a suitable backdrop.
This was probably one of the most amazing snowdrifts I have seen. Also known as "sastrugi", these structures form as the snow is built up and eroded by strong winds. As the sun broke the horizon, light added an extra depth to the layers of the sastrugi.
The strong easterly wind kept blowing towards me, and the rising air kept condensing and creating clouds, coming below the ridge and passing over me. I had to time my exposure between these clouds to ensure the view below wasn't obsecured!

A beautiful morning at South Head near Hayfield. I had an early start which was very very cold. The wind chill was incredible but it was well worth it.
The early morning light illuminating a fresh snowdrift. The image has been mirrored and copied twice to be symmetrical. The detail is best seen full screen.

This is a shot I have wanted for a long time. I have taken this shot with horses in it before. Of course I wanted snow on Snowdrift.
This spring the owner of the ranch told us something spooked his horses. Causing them to run through barb wire fence. Four of the horses retuned to the ranch. He was out looking for the other four.

This is a photo of wind sculpted snow drifts on Clam Harbour Beach that have been dusted with wind blown beach sand.
The track leading up towards South Head near Hayfield. Cut through by a tractor the sides of these drifts were about 5-6ft high.

Snow in December is not unexpected here in Colorado, but a temperature drop from 42 degrees Fahrenheit to 5 degrees in 2 hours is record-breaking! Then the temperatures dropped even further through the night. I used "storybook" effects to my snowy images to add to the feeling of wonder!
Just hours after our first "major" snowstorm, a Canadian Pacific eastbound with CSX C40-8 No. 7493, and a KCS Southern Belle, blast through Pilgrim Road and North Avenue in Brookfield, WI. For a less obscured view of the train see Lime Nuggets shot here: www.flickr.com/photos/drewhalv/23422273454/
Ondanks hun dikke vacht moet het zelfs voor deze schapen echt koud zijn geweest. Ze stonden vol in de wind van sneeuwstorm Darcy en hadden nergens een plekje om beschut te staan, vandaar dat ze bibberend tegen elkaar aan stonden.
Zelf had ik het goede idee om met deze sneeuwjacht een negen kilometer lange wandeling te maken. Dat was even afzien, maar het levert uiteindelijk wel bijzondere foto's op.

Despite their thick fur, it must have been really cold even for these sheep. They were in the wind of blizzard Darcy and had nowhere to shelter, which is why they were shivering against each other.
I myself had the good idea to make a nine-kilometer walk with this snowdrift. That was a bit of a struggle, but in the end I ended up with some special photos.
