Great picture, have you dehazed in post production? I was on the opposite bank in July and lots of water spray, after dehazing more realistic colours.

Nice--I like the monotone.

Thank you all for your comments.

The picture was taken after the "centennial storm" a week before when the northern part of the island was out of power and telecommunications for 4 days...And we had daylight for less than 3 hours.

Yes, I did some dehazing (called Clearview in Photolab3) to give a bit of depth. The original picture was rather monotone, only a few blue shadows in the flowing water.

I wonder if that's the same storm that kept us in Vik because they closed Route 1 (the only road).
We were there 12/7 to 12/12. There was a bad storm either 12/10 or 12/11. North end of the island received 1-2 meters of snow.

Yes, that was it. Route 1 was closed on different segment during the following days, e.g. you couldn't get out of Siglufjördur, or get to Myvatn. We were also locked in an hotel where the snow reached the 2nd floor...

WHOA. We definitely lucked out! Very little snow in Vik!
Yup, you were at the top of the island.
