Description On the beach at Vik in southern Iceland. I love these wonderful black beaches. Reynisdrangar are basalt sea stacks under the mountain Reynisfjall near Vik. 
Legend says that the stacks originated when two trolls  dragged a three-masted ship to land unsuccessfully and when daylight broke they became needles of rock.
The dots in the sky are sea birds. There are many puffins and other birds here.

Thank you Sara
This kind of mood suits me very well  
my first day in Iceland was very sunny which I actually find more difficult to deal with

Bleak and nearly monochromatic (aside from the hint of green) gives me a somber mood, and yet the touch of brightness across the middle also gives me hope.  Wonderful composition of a rugged coast.

Thanks Rich. 
This was the kind of thing I was after. The first day or two of my short visit were a bit sunny for me
this gives you more of a feel of the myths and legends of Iceland

thats very interesting because this picture is in colour it is just that the beach is actually black and so are the basalt sea stacks and it is a grey cloudy day. I thought when I was there that it felt like being in a b/w movie
