Covered with vibrant green moss, volcanic rock and gravel, mirror glass finished lakes and for most part a layer of fog, (Veiðivötn), Iceland is an amazing area photographic experience.
Spending two days in this marvellous location giving me time to experiment and visit a number of locations in the area. Our first night of camping, we were exhausted after a long drive into Veidivotn we’d set up camp in the fog. Exhausted and starting to falling asleep when out of the fog comes the feint sound of music. As it got louder it became clearer, it was AC/DC’s ‘Back in Black’. Louder and louder it got until an SUV drives past our tent full of inebriated Icelandic men singing at the top of their lungs “Coz I’m back in black!”. A surreal experience when we hadn’t seen a single soul for 12 hours.
In honour of this surreal experience, and AC/DCs Back in Black this image was produced at Veidivotn, Iceland. It includes no fluorescent green moss no lake but its back in black … and white. Enjoy!
