Image of the Month
February 2012
Aerial of River Delta, Iceland, July 2009.

Over a period of more than 10 years I have been shooting from the air over the icelandic landscape. Still, when lookning through my archive, I discover images which I did not see, when I first reviewed them after I took them. This is such an image. Just a month ago I found it in a folder from 2009. This aerial was taken from about 1200 ft. altitude over a river delta in the highlands. An ice river is deposing its silty water into a lake. The colors are bizarre and so are the flow patterns. One could even decribe the image as a bit surreal. However I have done no enhancements at all in the post processing, except setting the contrast and cropping it from a rectangle to a square. This is true Iceland from above.
