Sometimes, as I’m looking at some of my older photos, a bit of nostalgia creeps in with the memories of places visited and people met. Perusing some of my images from my June 2015 short trip to Iceland, I came across a set of shots that I took as I had followed the road beyond Siglufjörður along the coastline in the direction of Haganes.
If you ever get the chance, this is a lovely drive albeit it a bit of a winding road, as you climb the hills and follow the contours. At one point, I caught this view…
Literally, this road takes one above and below the clouds! The low-hanging cloud banks are above the water on this side of Haganes, providing a cozy blanket in which to wrap the peaks beyond the town.
As I processed this photo, I was struck by the light conditions, as the overall light was a bit of hazy blue; rather than process this out of the image, I chose to keep it, as I felt it gave a sense of an old image from days gone by. It also reminded me that I want to go back to Iceland again and again, as there is never enough time to capture all of its beauty.
What a beautiful view! Thanks for sharing a part of the world I will never get to experience myself.
Thank you kindly. It’s my pleasure!
Iceland has been a curiosity for me for quite awhile. This is such a great shot. And while you explain that the road does indeed go above and below the clouds, I would love to be standing in your shoes for that view. Happy New Year Frank.
If you ever get the chance, I cannot help but recommend visiting Iceland, as it is stunning to behold.
Yes, that was a rather surprising sight to behold and I had to stop and take it in.
Thank you and a very happy New Year!
I have always loved your images and perspectives on the places you visit. It is definitely on our list.
Thank you very kindly!
Fabulous shot Frank

This is really so mesmerizing. Very lovely capture, Frank 🙂
Thank you, Hammad!
