The Reykjanes Peninsula of Iceland is a place of haunting beauty. Descriptions of the region are usually dotted with clichés such as “stark,” “surreal,” “desolate.” That is because Reykjanes is, in fact, stark, surreal, and desolate.
Lake Kleifarvatn is an atmospheric sight and not a little spooky, especially on days with low-hanging fog.
En passant – an earthquake in 2000 caused water levels in Kleifarvatn to drop which in turn inspired the macabre thriller, The Draining Lake.

There is a lot of interesting color in the colour rendition and my eye keeps returning to it.
Dear r ,
As you know , I look forward to every image you offer us. But I choose to comment on your blogsite for the first time because I
thought the monochrome image above was the best one yet….apart perhaps from one of Goa in the rains you published a couple of years back.
I know now ( after meeting you in the UK last week ), how much thought and effort goes behind every photo you capture.
warm regards,
av
