I love the view from Vík beach, off to Reynisdrangar (aka the cool stacks!). I tried a slightly different angle on this visit. Although it looks so peaceful and smooth as a result of the long exposure, the waves were brutal!
The waves in Iceland are pretty scary. One of these waves crashed and almost took me out into the ocean with all my gear... Glad nothing serious happened. Of cos this lone rock is so #unique, I lost track of time. :X
Vik a town in southernmost #Iceland. This was taken on #Reynishverfi #beach with its impressive and massive massive basalt columns. According to legend, the Reynisdrangar needles are the remains of 2 night-trolls, who tried to pull a three-masted ship to land. But they were caught by the dawn and when daylight broke they turned into stone.
Its a great area to visit and pretty short drive to from Reykavik

My early morning take on Vik Church, Iceland.
I've cloned a little clutter and a flag pole out of the shot, but I think this makes for a much cleaner, visually appealing image.
ISO 400 due to wind making sharp shots difficult at slow shutter speeds.
I love Icelands Churches, a lot are very remote and the locations are very atmospheric. Vik church is very popular with tourists more so in summer when the lupins are in full flower.
In-between torrential downpours and snowstorms. Vík, Iceland.
--Thank you all very much for the kind words on my first Explore --
The fascinating landscape of Vík, with its black sand and rock formations in water.
Wind was beyond crazy on that day and I was literally grabbing the tripod and pressing it down into the sand with my weight to bring the long exposures home lol
I printed this one in quite a large format, as I overall prefer it to the other take
In 1991, the US journal Islands Magazine counted this beach as one of the ten most beautiful beaches on Earth. Its stretch of black basalt sand is one of the wettest places in Iceland. The cliffs west of the beach are home to many seabirds, most notably puffins which burrow into the shallow soils during the nesting season. Offshore lie fingers of basalt rock (stacks) remnants of a once more extensive cliffline Reynisfjall, now battered by the sea.
Vík lies directly beneath the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which itself is on top of the Katla volcano. Katla has not erupted since 1918, and this longer than typical repose period has led to speculation that an eruption may occur soon. An eruption of Katla could melt enough ice to trigger an enormous flash flood, potentially large enough to obliterate the entire town. The town's church, located high on a hill, is believed to be the only building that would survive such a flood. Thus, the people of Vík practice periodic drills and are trained to rush to the church at the first sign of an eruption.
