Sun Voyager (Icelandic: Sólfar) is sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason (1931 - 1989). Sun Voyager is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. Intrinsically, it contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom. The sculpture is located by Sæbraut, by the sea in the centre of Reykjavík, Iceland.

Location
I took this photo at the seaside in Reykjavik, Iceland. This is a sculpture called 'Sun Voyager´Time
This is handheld, taken at sundown. I cannot remember exactly when as the sunset in Iceland is ever changing, ranging from approx 2:30AM to 3:30PM.Lighting
This is all natural lightEquipment
This is a Canon 70D.Inspiration
I was out driving to find something interesting to shoot and drove past this scultpure. I noticed the warm sunset and how it reflected a bit off the sculpture so I stopped and took a photo.Editing
This is minimal post-processing but I ran it through Lightroom to saturize it a bit.In my camera bag
I usually have the kit lens as well as a 50mm 1.4 Canon lens.Feedback
Come to Iceland and drive eastwards from Harpa. This is perhaps a kilometer away.
