Photographer’s Note
Jökúlsárlón, in south eastern Iceland is one of the most impressive natural wonder I've ever been given the chance to see. I was lucky enough to have this wonderful weather as the days before and after were cold, rainy and windy. These iceblocks fall from the nearby glacier into a lagoon before slowly drifting into the sea. Most tourists have the bad idea to stay very close to the parking place, but the best way to experience Jökúlsárlón is to end up with just your group of friends and enjoy the peacefulness of this amazing place by walking a bit further towards the glacier (which we couldn't reach and seems to be kind of a long walk away...).
Iceland has probably the most beautiful landscapes I've ever been given to see in all of my trips, and though it will sound very cocky, now the bar has been set very high for the future places I will visit. Still, the beauty of the landscapes is nothing compared to the fun it is to end up in a messy place like India or many other countries outside the Western World :)

Hi Clement,
Very nicely composed image and the colors are pure Jokulsarlon. I share your wonder of this place and you image takes me back. If you ever get the chance be here at sunrise on a day like this. It is amazing beyond words.
Cheers!

Bonjour Clément
Très jolie photo de ce merveilleux lac.
Les icebergs au premier plans donnent une bon ne dimension à la photo, les reflets sont assez nets, et les lignes qui parent le ciel sont du plus bel effet.
Une vraie réussite, félicitations
