This image is taken at Stokksnes lava dunes at the south east part of
Iceland. I initially wanted to photograph a golden sunset. However,
Iceland’s unpredictable winter weather had other plans, instead I was
greeted with a gloomy overcasting day with showers. Normally, this
kind of condition is really bad for landscape photography, but somehow
I found this washed out muted color suits very well with this dramatic
location. When the tides went down, I found these sand ripples closely
resemble the shape of the new moon with peaks of Vestrahorn
Mountain in the reflection.
