Into Battle
The offshore winds added incredible energy to the scene, sending sea spray trailing off the tops of the waves, and the sun, positioned behind me, created small rainbows within the mist as the waves passed by. The sight was so dramatic and alive that it immediately reminded me of an army marching into battle, hence the name "Into Battle."

entry description
My photograph, "Into Battle," was taken on the southeast coast of Iceland during a wild and unpredictable morning. I had originally planned to photograph the famous Eystrahorn Mountain, but as I prepared my shot, my attention was drawn to the massive waves that began rolling towards the shore.The offshore winds added incredible energy to the scene, sending sea spray trailing off the tops of the waves, and the sun, positioned behind me, created small rainbows within the mist as the waves passed by. The sight was so dramatic and alive that it immediately reminded me of an army marching into battle, hence the name "Into Battle."
about the photographer
For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to traveling to see new places, inparticular, to see new landscapes. While on my travels, I gradually became more
interested in photographing the places I saw, and in 2015, I bought my first DSLR
camera. I used it on trips to Italy, Iceland, Bolivia, and Peru, but it was really in 2018,
when I had booked a trip to China, that I began to take a real interest in
