"An Ode to Nature" Photographs by Jeffrey Conley

“There are places in the world where the light somehow feels different. For me, Iceland is one of those places. Light there seems imbued with a special spirit. It probably has to do with the way the Icelandic landscape dances with shadows and isolates the light. This scene is expansive (more than 100 meters across) and yet feels small. Made on the south coast of Iceland, the black sand beach emphasizes the stretched silk feeling of the early morning light reflected off the momentarily calm north Atlantic."
