I had a long lonely weekend in Iceland, so I took my rental Jeep out into the wild. I drove all over the country from dawn till dusk seeing what I could find. The sky and landscape was an ever changing palette of colors and clouds.
The sun is so low on the horizon during the winter that it is almost like a 5-hour sunrise followed by a 5-hour sunset. I drove up and down one of these highways to the next, listening to all kinds of strange and eclectic music on my iPod, occasionally jumping out to take a shot of something like this… it was a perfect weekend.
In the distance, you can see the snowy mountains which always seem to be just a few songs away.

WOW! what time of the day is this? as u said, the sun is so low…I wish there was some other word than “Good Job”, it is not enough for what you do (and it is kinda boring to say good job for each photo that you take, because all of them are EXCELLENT!!)

Beautiful picture! I create the weekly worship slides for my church.(shawneeumc.com) This week is the Blessing of the Bikes (motorcycles) and I googled “open road” looking for a good pic for the final song. (Tom Petty’s I Won’t Back Down) Your picture is absolutely perfect! Thanks so much for sharing it with the web world!
