January 23, 2020 — Snaefellsjökull Peninsula, Iceland
Iceland is volcanic. Very. Many mountains are volcanic black. Rocks are black. Sand is black. Snow, however, is white.

This is amazing. Great composition. I like that it is nearly all white, but then you see the shapes of the mountains forming the longer you look.

Thank you very much. It was quite a challenge to achieve a proper balance of tone, form, and texture. Teetering on the balance of too much or too little.

Your title is apt, with the whiteout replacing mostly replacing the black out there in the mountains.

Just think how the world has changed in just one generation. In the old days, we’d have had to turn to the public library to try to find out who someone is.

Very cool! Very interesting
Subtle shading, almost like an after-image from looking at the mountains in bright sunlight.
