A couple of shots on a very windy day on the south coast of Iceland, near the town of Vik.

Spectacular - truly. Nice work. Good choice of movement.
Thanks for sharing.

I agree with jford! Breath-taking images.... so full of power.... I can just hear it and feel the spray... wow!!

Very nice captures!

Great capture of the power of the sea.

Thanks for dredging this one up from the back pages! I posted it a few days ago and it sort of quietly disappeared without a trace. Glad you liked it... it was pretty uncomfortable hanging around this spot waiting for some good waves!

Thanks Tess, den, and Bob.

There's an interesting little story behind these two pictures. I posted them both on another site where people vote yes or no on each picture posted. I thought both of these had about the same appeal, although I liked #1 better. It turns out that #2 got 98 yes and 12 no, from a total of 1702 views (most viewers don't vote). But #1 was largely ignored, with 3 yes and 1 no, and only 97 views. Fascinating!

Had to stop and wash the sea spray out of my hair. Spectacular images.

I nearly missed these great shots. Very powerful, tempted to go to The Gap tomorrow, don't think anyone has ever survived falling in here so if my posts suddenly cease, I have too.

Thanks, hope you do, I'd like to see it. Almost went to Albany in the 80's but didn't quite work out.
