I’ve searched most beaches on Iceland , this one is the top of the list . Fairly difficult to get wrong ,even if you forget the take the lens cap off your lens!
Well not quite , but where ever you look , the features are endless. Mountains next to sea , black ash beach and dunes ,a reversal of tones to the norm . When folks see this image ,they always double take ! Especially the beach, as though something is wrong .
This image gave birth to the whole concept of my website , ‘through the eyes of a stranger ‘ , I researched the place to death before I visited ,not wanting to miss any feature , I’m on my 5th visit and there are still aspects that I haven’t covered . I hope to be going back as soon as it is safe to do so (Written during the Covid 19 pandemic ) .
If you visit please do this for me , please respect the Farmer whose land we have been privileged to explore ,and pay our way , once you have paid for your ticket ,you can return on that evening to gain a return access to see the northern lights , there are few if any backdrops that can hope to compete with this location . Oh ,and Nip into the Viking cafe and treat yourself to the stickiest Chocolate Muffin this side of Reyjavik and a coffee served by Linda , a font of local photography locations and an amazing photographer in her own right !
