Celebration of Icelandic light.
Inaugural post of a new series, Light in Iceland.
The light in Iceland can be exquisite year-round. From mid-November to early February, the winter sun hovers just above the horizon and a long twilight bookends the day. Pink, reddish hues suffuse the landscape with an otherworldly glow characteristic of this sub-Arctic island. Likewise, during peak summer the low midnight sun sings its own symphony of soft honeyed tones. The range of this soul-purifying visual experience will absorb us in this series.
To kick off, we focus on a Reykjavík icon, Hallgrímskirkja, at once recognizable from all points in the city and beyond.
The collection will be archived here.

Dan, Bob, Rajendra – thanks.
Just beautiful Rajan! Yes, I would want to visit Icelan at anytime but especially winter.
It has the apocolyptic vibe then! Beautiful!
Nicely done, Rajan. The last one is my favorite: composition and tonal quality = outstanding.
Wow.
