Basalt Sand... by KarmaSong
Open full image in new tabDescription
This is black Icelandic fine sand, sort of shipwrecked by the ferocious waters of the Jökulsá river, along the deep and magnificent canyon that goes to the sea, in the north of the island.
Sorry for not visiting my friends' galleries, I 've been awfully busy over the past two weeks, but will try to catch up as soon as I can!....
Have a nice mid-week end (I mean, for European teachers!), and many many thanks for your nice and treasured comments, your e-mails and your support.

That looks really great! Wonderful shot!
excellent pic Jean-Luc... those forms and shapes are very appealing visually.
Great shot!!! Nice texture.
What an impressive texture and the light is wonderful!!
C'est une superbe nature morte, témoin que la nature est la meilleure des artistes... pour peu qu'elle rencontre l'oeil capable de la reconnaître.
the lighting,subtle change in tones and the contours which give this capture depth and interest make this a wonderful abstract creation..
Zoomed in on it Jean-Luc and must say I agree with Richard that this has a amazing texture unlike anything I've seen before. The lighting really helps make that stand out really well here.
Absolutely beautiful.
Outstanding texture and the curves are graceful helping to pull in the feeling of ease when viewing.
great image and info!
Oh ! Jean-Luc, cette image est un véritable trésor ! Quelle belle lumière ! J'aime aussi son côté très graphique et design si tu vois ce que je veux dire ! Il dégage aussi de cette image une grande pureté ! Un grand bravo ! J'espère que l'on te reverra bientôt ! Bonne fin de semaine ! Virginie

Excellent capture my friend.
A most interesting and creative presentation you have achieved with this photo capture. Beautiful effect.
Gorgeous photo. It would make a lovely abstract work as well as an incredible landscape. It's so graceful. I love the way you captured the light, shadows, and textures in this. It's a lovely presentation, too. What an incredible place you live in.

Gorgeous shapes and forms, dear Jean-Luc. A magical capture, almost mercurial. Bisous, Diane. xx
