Following on from the last image and with a similar vibe of surreailty and 'other worldliness'...

This is Arnarstapi on the Snaefellsness peninsula in Iceland, I hadn't been here before and was simply blown away with it, talking of being blown away some of the winds on the trip made it actually impossible to stand up at times and on another day this shot would have been totally impossible as I was peched on quite a narrow area of cliff, thankfully there was hardly any wind this morning, I wouldn't have even gone looking had there been a gust about such is the unpredictability of the weather here you really can end up in big trouble so the utmost respect for the weather is paramount here everywhere you go.

With some nice movement in the clouds this was an unplanned break out of the 10 stop filter during sunrise to give a 472 second exposure, just adding to the whole surreal feel of the place, we stood up here for quite some time shooting and just washing the sea pound in onto the black rocks below, magic.
