Iceland is a wonderful and complex country with vast opportunities to photographically explore the myriad of natural wonders. On this particular trip, I found myself shooting well into the evening past 10 pm to capture some of the best light. I didn't see the sun for more than an hour in 8 straight days. In many areas along the coast of Iceland the mountains just disappear directly into the water or as in the case of the Sea stacks, they just continue into the sea.
