Silica Pond, Iceland

One of the highlights of the interior of Iceland: a hot-water pond, charged with silica, glowing in the middle of nowhere.
Horses, Iceland

Icelandic horses are out all year, even through the winter. I captured these in-foal mares in southern Iceland in December 2011.
Cotton Grass, Iceland

This photograph was taken in July of 2010 while hiking in a region of Iceland called Landmannalaugar. People come to this area in order to see the colorful rhyolite mountains. During our trip we had come across small amounts of cotton grass along the roads, but I never expected to see such a huge field of it. This image represents what Iceland is all about. Just when you think the landscape can’t surprise you any more, something else even more amazing comes along.
