Magical!

Description

A rare bright sunset was almost magical as it reflected through the ice that had washed ashore on a black sand beach in Iceland. There was an ajacent glacier nearby and when the ice calved from the glacier it would eventually wash out into the ocean and at such a time photo opportunities are numerous.

Canon 5D-SR with 24mm 1.5 Canon Lens, f22 to accomodate a slow shutter speed of 3 seconds to smooth the ocean waves at ISO 100.
