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.

Absolutely fascinating!!! Good luck at work. I know the feeling... :)
Superb image!
this is really beautiful
Le postwork donne beaucoup de cachet au cliché. La capture de la lumière se reflétant est incroyable : on ne sait plus si c' est les reliefs du basalt qui attirent l'oeil ou bien la prestance de la lumière ! Qui après semble "autoriser" la présence de cette coulée de basalt... 5+++++ : D

Marvelous image, superb textures with shimmering light!
beautiful my friend love the textures
Une image véritablement sensationnelle, qui frise l'abstraction… Cela fait songer aussi à certaines vues aériennes, alors qu'il s'agit, n'est-ce pas, d'une photo rapprochée. L'éclairage assez rasant sculpte le sable en faisant ressortir des sortes courbes de niveau. C'est remarquable!
