Summer Solstice sunset

Iceland

The sun never actually sets in Northern Iceland, staying above the horizon even during the sunset which lasted three hours. It solved that eternal dilemma of where to photograph the sunset, since it usually goes so fast. Instead we were able to shoot the sunset along a 30 km stretch of the coast of Northern Iceland.

Fantastic perspective with the road leading the eye to distant snow capped mountains. The colors from (almost) setting sun are beautiful. V
