Shadow Play

The clouds are trying to hide the sculpted slopes, the sun dapples highlights and creates a serene scene.

In spite, the cloud sits atop the highest peak. In response the sun spotlights the neighbour.

At ground level, sunlight wins, for now.

The Power Of Sunlight

A day of showers and sunbeams. The mountains are cloud-capped and the sun is playing hide-and-seek.

As we're travelling towards Höfn í Hornafirði¹, the power lines following the roadside are caught in a blaze of sunlight from directly ahead.

Blue And Gold

Late September, and the fertile land surrounding the fjord has begun to turn to autumnal colours. Sunlight and shadows are chasing each other across the expanse.

The turquoise waters are ruffled by an offshore wind, and the long golden grasses dance in the gusts. The distant mountains beyond are tinged with blue under patchy cloud.

Cap Cloud

Moist air forced to climb the windward slopes has condensed into a dome in the cooler air.

The pinnacles are embedded in it, almost clasping the cloud with a gentle touch.

This beautiful and ethereal formation evolved on a drizzly day in early October.
