Kirkjufellby ~Alex37

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

The night before I had one of the best wild camps yet high up beneath a mountain in what was essentially an alpine meadow.

I started at 3 am to find a shot for sunrise but clouds on the horizon meant I had to wait a bit and I decided fairly late on to move to a view looking over Kirkjufell.

Kirkjufell is Iceland's most photographed mountain and I had intentionally avoided the shots that most landscape photographers tend to go for, it was nice to shoot it from a slightly different angle although I am sure this shot has been done before!

It doesn't matter if someone already did this shot... you're making it look like a Lord of the Rings most wanted landscape or even something that I can only imagine as one of the most beautiful places in the MAGIC the Gathering world... only able to being recreated by digiarts or your imagination.
I would gladly sacrifice years of my life just to be able to be there. No matter if I'm not able to photograph that landscape. Just to be able to breath and touch that place would be enough!
THANKS for sharing this awesome piece. Same with all your incredible photography.
