Another absolutely great article from Guy Tal. "... So, no matter what “it” you look at, it’s all about… absolutely nothing.

This article was first published on capturingthelandscape.com. Editor’s Note:  If you ask any passionate landscape photographer what their dream location is, I’m fairly certain the majority of them would probably say Iceland.  For those who might be wondering why, then let this incredible photograph be your answer – I for one, cannot take my eyes off it!

You know because it hurts. Hey there!
