I love this composition and the dramatic sky!!

Thank you Pedro for your visit and comment. I appreciate it. This was a beautiful day with the past and future close by.

Hello Baldur. How did I miss this one ? You present beautiful picture again where the main subject and other elements are well balanced. The light selectively on the sculpture is very interesting and really adds to the shot. I like the calm and peace that can be felt looking at many of your pictures. Makes me coming back. Best regards, Peter

Only few of all these names are in use in Iceland and some of them are not common.

Good image, the light on the sculpture makes it alive and the sky and water make up a great background. The new ship on the horizon stands out for the color too...
