The way the light hits those basalt rocks 👌👌 The way the light hits those basalt rocks 👌👌

The black sand beaches of Iceland are incredibly famous, and for good reason given how dramatically stunning they are. The rocks (pic 1), as if carved by gods, loom over us mere mortals as their brothers, the waves, rough and tumble behind. 

The day we visited was perhaps the windiest I’ve ever experienced. You could literally lean into the wind without getting blown over (pic 5). For me and other long-haired folks out there, that also means get a mouthful of hair every. Damn. Second. (Pic 6) 

None the less, visiting here was one of my trip highlights. I found the wild, alien landscape so appealing and unleashed a whirlwind of creative thoughts. I wanted to snap a photo of every rock, every wave, every angle. The hazy sky creating a monotone world (pic 2) until you’re so close that each column reveals its cracks and colours (pic 3). 

Expect plenty more of this spot because I can’t choose favourites. It’s too beautiful not to share (ex. Pic 4 feat a beautiful human too).
