Situated just outside of the town of Höfn on the south east coast of Iceland, this image captures the natural beauty of the Vestrahorn Mountains across the black ash sand dunes of the Stokksnes peninsula.
This vast and dramatic landscape experiences weather that can change by the minute - an hour before this image was captured the mountains were covered in cloud with very poor visibility across the dunes.
This place has been a location that I have wanted to visit since seeing images online a few years ago. Luckily I had the chance to visit during my recent trip touring the south coast of this amazing country.
Standing on these dunes, listening to the North Atlantic waves pounding the coastline whilst black sand blew across the landscape, was an awesome experience and one which I will remember for many years to come.

Fantastic!
I've always wanted to photograph the ethereal landscape of Iceland.
I have a question about your image.
Did you do much dodging and burning in post processing.
Regardless you have a wonderful range of tonality in the image.
Congratulations!
