"Synchronicity" Kirkjufell, Iceland
"When all elements combine on a single landscape, photons start creating music, and visual dreams suddenly become real."
José Ramos
After my seven day trip to Iceland, from 16-22 September, here's the second published photo from the trip. After sleeping inside the rental car in Keflavik (the plane arrived at 1am), I decided to head to Kirkujfell next day. I had seen this mountain so many times on 500px and other galleries, and yet it still kept me fascinated every single time with its singular shape, frequently adorned by beautiful waterfalls. As soon as I arrived I could feel my heart racing with the excitement, and I rushed to the spot and photographed it from many angles until it was absolutely dark. You know, I'm not one of the guys who likes to brag about being "absolutely unique" on a certain place, creating his "own interpretations" of a scene, just for the sake of difference. This certainly applies to a Iceland trip, and this photo is a great example. A Kirkujfell photograph with the three waterfalls is an image beaten to death? Well, under the perspective of online photography addicts, most certainly yes, but still only about 0,00001% of photographers have the chance to visit such place, and 0,0001% of those will be able to do decent photos there. This is so much more about showing visions of nature than showing ourselves...
