Iceland’s Breathtaking Rugged and Stunning Landscapes
Tauheed Ahmad Nawaz
From an eye-popping waterfall to a “petrified troll” in the sea. The remarkable pictures reveal the magic of Iceland’s rugged and Stunning Landscapes. And that’s why Iceland remains high on numerous holidaymakers’ bucket lists.
Moreover, with exquisite detail, a 60 years old tourist/photographer “Wim Denijs” captured the most beautiful scenes that show fog rolling over mountains, water sweeping over the “Godafoss falls”, and a peaceful day on the water surrounding the magnificent “Hvítserkur”. A 50ft basalt rock on the Vatnsnes peninsula. The photographer has been drawn to Iceland’s exclusive landscapes ever since the 2010 eruptions of “Eyjafjallajökull”.
The natural volcanic eruption formed a gigantic ash cloud that shut almost entire Europe’s airspace, grounding over 100,000 flights and ruining millions of holidays. I was so excited to discover Iceland differently in 2010 after the eruption of the “Eyjafjallajökull” and there I really feel how small and fragile we are.
We’ve no value/power, but nature is so powerful and beautiful. The creation is extremely marvelous, and I’m really fond of Iceland now. I saw the stunning beauty there, when melting the glaciers, the power of nature, and I became more and more of a landscape photographer. Therefore, it is very striking to feel, when you are standing in the middle of a river, and you see that everything’s in harmony and the shapes of the mountains, the flood of the water, and the colors of the sky. God has created all these things with their power and authority.
After that, I visited Iceland 7 times in 2010 but still discovered astonishing sights. My favorite photograph is the pains of the “Vestrahorn” actually a very imposing mountain in the southeast of the country. I’m particularly intrigued by the culture, color, and lights, including a photographic study of landscape and people’s lives.
I could look at a line of laundry flapping in the wind, a pair of old, hard-working couples, or a crowd of people on the street, and find it very attractive. Through taking pictures I want to tell everyone that no matter what no one is alone, and no one is forgotten in this world. We’re all human beings belonging to nature, no matter what political decisions are made.
