From last week’s warmth of Mumbai, India, we go to a chilly February morning in Iceland. This was just over a year ago, as my partner in crime, George Fellner, and I went to photograph the sun rising on Kirkjufell mountain. We scoped out the location on the previous day, so we had a good idea where we wanted to be. As Kirkjufell mountain is highly photogenic, there were several other photographers in situ.

Despite the competition, we found a pretty good vantage point…

Kirkjufell on Ice

We spent a good hour photographing majestic Kirkjufell in various stages of being illuminated. During this time, the ice flow provided a wonderfully muted reflection. That certainly increased the appeal of this vista for me. I love reflections, especially when they are a bit more subtle, such as in this image.

It was a good photo harvest during a chilly morning!
