Road to Stykkishólmur

Uploaded: September 01, 2012 05:18:48

Description

Shortly after fixing a surprise flat tire, we were back on the road to catch our car ferry out of Stykkishólmur to the Westfjords.
I loved how the roads in Iceland wind off and shrink into the distance, yet stay visible in the vast landscape.

Absolutely beautiful. I just love the way you composed the picture with the side of the hill angled across the page. I enhoy how we see the winding road go up the hill and out of sight. Gorgeous colors and balance. A beauty my friend. #10304836
