Hofn, Iceland

I made this image near the town of Hofn while I was in Iceland.  The weather is constantly changing in this artic land and something you will need to wait for the right conditions to make a desired image.  I waited at least an hour or more for the clouds to clear the mountain peaks in this scene.  As I waited I dealt with some rain as well as wind.  It is easy to give up on a location when the weather doesn't co-operate and when travel is involved.  Often I quote Edward Weston's belief that, " while you are waiting for it here, you are missing it there".  But on this particular day I am glad I hung around for the storm clouds to clear and make the image.
