Journey's End

Large Version Available

This was much more interesting to actually look at than any photo can portrey, but I hoped to bring home a little of the wonder.  This tiny scene plays out millons of times as glaciers break down the mountains they travel down, collecting sediments as they go. These volcanic sediments will shortly fall to the black sand beaches near Jokulsarlon beach in southeast Iceland and become part of much wider view photos I'm sure . Composing and finding the right comp. was difficult due to close quarters in the ice and pieces of ice blocking the view. This section was a 75% cropof the original, maybe 8 x 10 inches. 6 images were blended for sharp focus throughout.
