Cratered

Posted by
Andrea (Regina, Canada) on 21 July 2011 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

An old volcanic crater in Iceland. Apparently Bjork once performed while floating on a raft in the lake at the bottom, which is also reputed to contain fish.

One should always asks themselves if a volcano is really dormant.
Excellent POV and beautiful colours!

Are those colors in the crater walls for real ? I guess they can be from iron oxide pigments and such stuff . . or was it part of the Bjork stage set ?!!

@Ronnie 2¢: Those colours are for real! You probably understand more about it than I do. Iceland certainly has its share of interesting coloured rocks. Just wait until you see the striped hills of Landmannalauger.

Wonderful, reminds me of a place in Saskatchewan I remember driving to on
the way to Yorkton, in Saskatchewan, where there is a reputed crater. - This
is so beautiful, the colors magnificent, worthy of an award also I think.
