Hafrafell reimagined.
Angkor derives from the Sanskrit word for ‘city’.

The mountain Hafrafell abuts Svínafellsjökull, an outlet tongue of the mother glacier Vatnajökull in South Iceland. The image above was made by mirroring the one below.

What an eye for detail you have, Rajan! Beauty!
Good to hear from you, Prashanth.
Beautiful, Rajan, so stark and yet so captivating. The mirror image had me fully engaged; if you hadn’t captioned it then I would’ve never known.:-) I really wonder how “angkor” morphed from a Cambodian cognate to an Icelandic term, though…
“Angkor” has nothing to do with Iceland(ic). It was my playful attempt at a variation on “Angkor Wat.”
Cool idea about mirroring the image: works so well!
Thank you, Bob.
Thank you, Shreebhau and Premanand-bab.
Wonderful creative photography. I see at least 5 faces in this ‘symmetrical’ mountain.
Cool! I thought that was real. Nice imagination!
