Well done, Rajan!

The winter image was shot from the window of our superjeep. With a raging windstorm outside we could keep it half rolled down for only a few seconds.

I've never visited Iceland in winter but a short experience with wintery conditions in early spring convinced me that bad icelandic weather is seriously bad.
