Why (nonetheless) Iceland?
Explaining why a panorama photographer feels drawn to Iceland feels a bit redundant as of late. Moderately, you will have one thing to elucidate if you have not been there at the least a couple of occasions. But in 2012, when my first e-book Iceland pure appeared, I nonetheless felt referred to as to place the sensation into phrases what attracted me a lot to this rugged island within the Atlantic Ocean:
“It’s not onerous to elucidate why Iceland is a sexy vacation spot for a nature photographer. It has the largest ice cap in Europe; probably the most lovely and highly effective waterfalls; the biggest variety of lively volcanoes. It has puffins and harlequin geese, wild, rocky coasts and black lava seashores, abandoned plateaus and weird geothermal phenomena. And to high all of it massive areas are all however uninhabited, with vacationers few and much between in comparison with elsewhere in Europe.
And but this spectacular roll name is simply a part of the explanation for my persevering with ardour for Iceland. Extra vital is that when I’m there I really feel nearer to nature than I do wherever else. It’s as if I expertise nature extra intensely right here. Iceland will get underneath my pores and skin, strikes me, and overwhelms me. Time and time once more.”
