Our sojourn in the northern fjords of Iceland has coincided with clear skies. At these latitudes, within a stone’s throw of the Arctic Circle, the golden light of the sun lingers for almost an hour. It is a marvelous spectacle, and the quality of the light otherworldly.
Last night the skies lit up over Skjálfandi Bay near Húsavík. Also seen to the left is Lundey (“Puffin Island”).

A few days earlier, a drive along Skagafjörður was richly rewarded.

These are absolutely awesome pictures. I especially love the first one of the midnight sun. Magnificent!
Great photos. The first picture of the midnight sun is especially awesome!
Blessed is the land (photographically speaking) that has the sun at midnight!
The Singh-Ray Reverse GND filter is neutral and does nothing to alter the colour.
Are the colors on the first photo (the one with the Singh Ray ND filter) natural or from the filters?
It must be nice to photograph on places where the golden hour lasts hours on end. 🙂
Simply surreal !
