Title: Dragons in the Sky
Post by: Rajan Parrikar on November 24, 2010, 05:11:43 am: Late evening on the southwestern coast of Snæfellsnes, Iceland. For a brief story accompanying the photo, see this. (http://www.parrikar.com/blog/2010/11/24/dragons-in-the-sky/)

From my one visit to Iceland in 1974 I'd say the land looks a bit weird in reality almost everywhere in Iceland.
Another nice one, Rajan!

Agreed. The land in Iceland is simply incredible with colors and rock formations that belong to another planet.

Agreed again about the photo, fantastic combination between the sky and the "weird" rocks/moss/flowers.

No "overprocessing" here. The foreground is actually moss-covered lava, which is a strange sight in itself. As others have mentioned, much of Iceland is surreal.

Lovely. Should be in the "Clouds" thread!

Every shot I see posted here of Iceland increases my desire to go there.

Amazing place, then!
