Vik, Iceland - a photo on Flickriver

Vik, Iceland

            The black basalt cliffs and beach at Vik in Iceland contrast nicely with the white surf of the big atlantic waves.

Photographed at dawn from a point further along the headland where a small river that you can see at the bottom of the photo flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

The biggest issue with this photo was trying to hold the tripod down in one place during the 2 minutes that the camera took to take the image - the winds on top of the cliff edge must have been at least 30mph and at one point I nearly lost the camera and tripod over the edge.
