January 26, 2020 — Jökulsárlón, South Coast, Iceland
Taken about a half-hour before the image in yesterday’s post — looking north, rather than east. The clouds and mist were in constant motion. Indeed, much of the time the mountains were obscured by clouds. My February 15 post shows one dramatic moment. The image above shows a pause in the turmoil of the cloudy cauldron.
Still wondering if JMW Turner would’ve liked Pink Floyd.

Very beautiful. And love the Turner – Pink Floyd thought. Turner, of course, one of my heroes / role models. 🙂

Thank you very much. And Turner is the man! One of my absolute favorite artists of all time. I’ll bet that if he were a contemporary he would like Pink Floyd. If you listened to one of his paintings, it would sound like Pink Floyd.

I’m sure he would [love PF] as he’d love your Mt. Ghost Ship too!
Beautiful, my friend! 🙂

In the earlier picture, the iceberg plays a subservient role to the dramatic clouds and is almost lost in the haze that surrounds it. In today’s take, the balance has shifted and the iceberg becomes the unmistakable subject.

This picture gives it its day in the sun. It lasted, oh I don’t know, maybe a minute.

Beautiful and mysterious-looking, I could definitely see it as the Flying Dutchman.
And I like your pairing of Turner & Pink Floyd, that’s a fun idea for my next trip to an art museum. A few years ago, I saw an exhibit of Turner’s maritime paintings, at the Peabody museum, and he could be a real wild man, I bet he’d have loved Floyd’s experimentation, too.

Thank you very much. And as I said another comment if I listen to a Turner Maritime painting I hear Pink Floyd. On the other hand, if I look at Pink Floyd music I see Turner. Then again, if I look at Rachmaninoff, I also see Turner. Maybe I just see Turner. Period.

I can’t speak for Turner, but I do like the both of them so I’d like to think so. There’s no accounting for taste though. Besides Pink Floyd I also like tThe Clash and Green Day. Go figure. 🙂
I do like the ghostly appearance, not at all ghastly, of the mountain and, having had my patience tested more than once, can imagine watching the fog/clouds thickening and thinning waiting for the mountain’s grand appearance. And grand it is. And yes, I agree…you’ve got TCatT…Turner Channel all the Time. 😉

I like the subtle processing and the feeling of a great ghost ship in the distance.

Thank you very much. That subtle processing took quite some time. Too much…too little…back and forth, till just right. Let it sit overnight. Then it’s not right at all. Try, try again…

True. Thanks for understanding. Sometimes just a one-digit change on a slider makes a difference.
