Very nice. I wonder if the color version could provide more separation but I guess you have valid reasons to go with the b&w instead.

All that seeming inhospitable vastness and then the lone, brave rider.
Poetry made visual.

Very dark and dramatic mood… Well seen, as usual!
Bravo

Eric, John, Peter. Armand, RMV and Francois - thanks much.

Armand, it was late evening and the light at that moment wasn't all that interesting. We had gone to photograph a historic church when I noticed this rider in the distance and had to scramble to get into position. The attached photo by my friend Börkur shows the general conditions and me just before the rider passed by.

Perfect match between landscape and human element.

Borkur's image is quite fine, too.
Of course, it would have been better yet if you were on a horse, Rajan.   ;)
