All of your Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon photos are stunning; this place has really captured your heart, hasn't it?

@Hoshisato: thanks mate and yes -- this instantly became one of my truly favorite places on earth -- a wonderful artisan of Reykjavik told me that this place was a spiritual center for icelandic art / culture / pride and that inspiration was drawn from the blue glacier lagoon ice by so many people -- this is a place i too will return again and again!! thanks again!! :)

I just love that place, too. In your photo, I love the contrast between the bright blue of the ice and the b&w of the glacier in the background. Beautiful!

Hey...I took a course on B&W photography which included how to layer color on top of a black&white image. We went out in the field a good bit to shoot different scenes. I did post one of them today. It was a very fun class to take. I think it convinced me that I truly do love B&W. My struggle in life. LOL.

@Tammy-Cricket: LOL. that is GREAT!! yes -- i am coming around to b/w too!! never thought that would happen -- but there are so many possibilities!!! :) i will check out your shot!! x
@Twelvebit: yes indeed. it is beautiful!
