entry description
Nature is a painter of abstract forms. What at first glance may appear to be brushstrokes of colour, are in fact the streams of one of Iceland's largest rivers, winding around banks of black sand. These rivulets take on their typical blue colour due to particles released during the melting of thousand-year-old glaciers, eventually making their way to the sea.about the photographer
