This photos are from a few hours we spent at Reynisfjara, a black sand beach near Vík.
The place is famous for its rock stacks and the needles of rocks near the shore. The legend says they are trolls that were surprised by the sun while trying to bring a ship to land.

Vik is the southernmost village in Iceland and is also the wettest place in the country. Its beaches are composed of natural black sands and a unique feature of the beaches in Vik are the basalt column rising out from the sea, which are often rough due to the high winds in the North Atlantic.
A remarkable nearby feature is the beautiful black beach with the Reynisdrangar, black basalt columns sculpted by the sea. A folk tale says that they are former trolls which were caught outside at dawn. The sea around them is rather wild and stormy.

Vik es el pueblo más meridional de Islandia y también el lugar más lluvioso
del país. Sus playas están compuestas de arenas negras naturales y uno de sus componentes más llamativos son las columnas de basalto volcánico que salen directamente del mar, y que son moldeadas por los fuertes vientos y mareas del Atlántico norte.
El conjunto más llamativo de estas columnas basálticas es de Reynisdrangar, visible desde la propia playa de Vik. Una leyenda popular cuenta que se trata de trolls, que han fueron cogidos por sorpresa por los primeros rayos de sol del amanecer.

Vík í Mýrdal (ou Vík pour les intimes) depuis le haut du village. La tempête commençait à arriver, associée au cimetière qui se trouve juste derrière pour créer une ambiance de shoot particulière.

Another one from a great display of light at Vík, south Iceland. The pinnacles seen are called Reynisdrangar. They have been eroded away from the mountain on the right by the powerful north Atlantic waves. The soft rock from which this old volcano is made from erodes quite quickly. It is basically a volcanic debris pressed solid by kilometer or two thick ice during a recent ice age.
The black sand is also made from volcanic debris eroded away by current glaciers in south Iceland and carried to the sea by rivers.

Vik church
En Islande, La petite église de Vik haut perchée sous la beauté des aurores de l'hiver.
Cela lui donne un air encore plus "divin" avec ces fuyantes de lumières éphémères.

Vik's church dominates the skyline sitting at the top of the hill overlooking the town. It is a must site for those visiting Vik. I tried to capture it a little differently in monochrome.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I wish you all much love and peace.
I am incredibly fortunate and thankful for all of the wonderful experiences I have had this past year. Since we love traveling and making memories so much, my husband and I agreed to buy tickets to go back to Iceland and have it be our Christmas present to each other, so we are going back in four months!
I also cheated a little bit and got us another present, surprising Nick with a National Parks Pass and inside our itinerary and reservations to fly to Las Vegas, grab a rental car and road trip through the desert! So in two months we are going to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend. He was completely surprised and really excited. :)
The famous Reynisdrangar rocks of Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach with its big sneaky waves that knock down so many unaware tourists. Near by is a small town call Vik
the black rocky sand beaches, the fierce frozen winds, the spires in the distance. the church on the other side lit by sunlight peeking between two hills. There is beauty everywhere in this town they call vík. my favorite stop on the southern coast of iceland.
Vík í Mýrdal (pop. 300), the southernmost village in Iceland and the only one standing by the sea but without a harbour. The horizon is blurred by a sandstorm.
A very windy day by Vik.
Thanks to all who comment or mark as a favorite it really is much appreciated
Here's a long exposure using a ND filter during an unusually tranquil sunrise in Vik. The linear clouds were perfect for movement as they streaked across the sky.
Vik, Iceland. 30 second exposure.
Every photography trip and workshop is an adventure. I've just returned from Iceland where Christian Fletcher, Tony Hewitt, Antony Spencer and I were entrusted with the lives of 20 stalwart photographers.
Yes, I'm giving these photographers a lot of credit because for nearly two weeks, they put up with Christian's poor jokes and Tony's equally poor apologies. Fortunately, Antony had so many amazing photos on his iPhone, of locations we were going to visit in the next day or two, that he was able to keep the peace - and interest!
We all put a lot of trust in Antony who has visited Iceland over 30 times, but half way up the side of a hill, I was having second thoughts.
One of the things you know about Iceland is that it has amazing weather. Of course, that amazing weather is sometimes horizontal rain, hail and snow, which in turn can affect the roadworthiness of access tracks to great photographs.
Antony mentioned an amazing view over the sea stacks at Vik on the Icelandic south coast. We could see the stacks from the hotel, as well as the road leading up to them. It didn't look too hard and our vans were 4WD or AWD.
I was last in a procession of four. Tony was in front of me, an expert 4WD driver (his dad was a 4WD instructor), but when he struggled to make it over some deep rutts on the last section of a particularly steep hill, I was a little worried. So, it appeared, was Tony, because he got out of the vehicle to check things out and it took him three goes to get through.
Now, I'm a city slicker, but in the back of my car I had a couple of travellers with lots of 4WD experience. "Just gun it, Pete. Keep moving and you'll be fine."
At the top of the hill, my legs were shaking, but my advisers were correct and we had arrived at the top without incident. And we had this amazing view of the Vik sea stacks below us!
One of the reasons I turned this into a black and white was because, after recent rains, the water below had a range of different colourations from mud and run-off, and so the easiest solution was not to deal with colour at all!

Morning sun shinning down on Vik church, with the Reynisdrangar sea stacks in the distance.
Vík í Mýrdal Church is a stunning, white-washed church located in Vík, the southernmost town in Iceland. It is built in a beautiful cliffside area and offers magnificent views of the nearby Reynisfjara beach and Black Sand Dunes.
