Iceland Day 9: Post Gallery

Vestrahorn Gray. The clouds settle among the crags of Vestrahorn.
Eestern Crag of Vestrahorn. This is one of my favorite photos from the trip, and I remember posting it to Instagram that day. It was difficult not to highlight this peak in every composition, and you'll see it again and again below.
The Monks of Vestrahorn. This small pair of outcrops peeks from behind Vestrahorn. I see a pair of cowled monks, treking one behind the other, into the clouds beyond the crags.
Curving to the crags. The black-and-white contrast works on a dark day. Although I tried to avoid the tracks in foreground dunes, these appealed to me for some reason.
Toward the pass. After fixating on the summits, I sought equal time for the saddles.
Cooling crags. A cool-light, long exposure of the eastern summit crag at Vestrahorn. This is the wide-view of the two images above.
Late gray of Vestrahorn. One more for the motion, letting color play the highlights.
Tidal outcrop. Details in the older rocks in the coastal outcrops at Vestrahorn.
Blue radiance of Fjallsjökul. A blue-hour glacier reconnaissance.
