White birch in winter
Stand of white birch trees (Betula pubescens) with their curving trunks in a snowy landscape, Hverir, north Iceland. This is a very busy shot for a B&W, but I think it works due to the strong white vertical curves of the birch trunks.
This marks the end of the Iceland series.

on January 31, 2021I love the screen of curved birch trunks with the view beyond. I've really enjoyed our visit with you, to a place I'll never get to go.

on January 31, 2021I do love the curves in the birch trunks - I always wonder how many years it took to shape them in that way. I am sad to hear it's the end of your Iceland adventure = I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

on January 31, 2021I agree; although busy, the white trunks of the birches with their glistening textures really works in b/w and I like the dof that gives us a pretty sharp view of the landscape in the distance! Lovely shot!
