The Rocks at Vik

From the town of Vik, Iceland three black basalt columns called the Reynisdrangar protrude from the stormy North Atlantic.
Legend has it that the rocks are three trolls, caught out too late and frozen by the early morning sunlight.
The blooming lupines lined a lovely pathway to them.

The atmosphere helps convey a haunting mood in this very beautiful capture. The lupines are incredibly beautiful and I love how the sky reflects similar hues. The caption adds a nice reference to this unique location. VV++

The foreground makes a perfect entrance into the scene the purple flowers beautiful, and the rock formation makes a bold statement.
