The imposing looking Kirkjufell mountain in Grundarfjorour, West Iceland.
A classic view of this conical peak (463m) and for me is definitely one of the defining views in Iceland, waterfalls, odd shaped rock formations and volcanic peaks surrounded by even more mountains bearing the scars of the ice age, absolutely tremendous if you like that kind of thing, as I do.
The weather wasn't the best we could have hoped for here but such is the way of things and I'm always thankful for just having no rain, we got a good 40 minutes shooting here before the rain came again so impeccable timing (or just lucky for once) The overcast weather was ideal for a long exposure and I was initially thinking about black and white but there was still some nice Autumn colour on the mountain. One those shots you know has been done before but so nice to have your own work from a location to add to your collection.
The little bridge on the far left is the remnant of the old road that once ran around the base of the mountains before the new one was built.
