Surf Detail, Dyrholáey, Iceland

The Dyrholáey peninsula is the southernmost point on the main island of Iceland, surrounded by and exposed to the Atlantic Ocean. The surf is breaking on a typical Icelandic black sand beach. The sand is really lava broken to bits by the ocean's incessant pounding.

Surf and Sand from Dyrholáey, Iceland

This view from the top of the Dyrholáey peninsula shows part of the Reynisfjara black sand beach. The 40mph+ winds made it difficult to stand and dangerous to get close to the cliff edge. Wind is an ever-present feature along the Icelandic coast because there’s nothing to block it for hundreds of miles in any direction.

View from Highway 612, Westfjords, Iceland

Highway 612, like many Icelandic numbered roads a rutted and bumpy unpaved way, is in the northwestern part of the island. We encountered this view late in the day as we were returning from a visit to the Latrabjarg cliffs. Ours was the only car on the road that day.

Halsanefshellir Basalts, Iceland

This formation of columnar basalts at the base of the Hálsanefshellir cliff fronts the Atlantic Ocean on Iceland’s southern coast not far from the Dyrholáey peninsula. The incoming tide made getting this image a real adventure – my footprints in the black sand were washed away less than 20 seconds after I clicked the shutter.

Sea and Sky from Latrabjarg Cliffs, Iceland

This unusual whorled cloud caught my eye as we walked the trail along the top of the Latrabjarg cliffs high above the Atlantic. I really liked the contrast between the unruly and angry-looking clouds and the seemingly serene and featureless ocean.

Surf by Latrabjarg Cliffs, Iceland

Latrabjarg is the westernmost point of land in Iceland, famous for its enormous puffin colony. Alas, all the birds had left for warmer climes by early September, but the surf breaking at the base of the cliff, a small part of which is visible at the edge of this image, provided endless variety.

Aspens by Maroon Creek, Aspen, CO

Maroon Creek drains Maroon Lake, the site of innumerable sunrise shots of the Maroon Bells mountains. Yes, I elbowed my way in among the crowd of photographers for the obligatory sunrise pictures, but I much prefer this image of a peaceful stand of Aspens. Making this late-morning photograph was a challenge because I had to set up my tripod on a 45-degree slope about 10 feet below the road level.
