Sand dunes and sea grasses

I used the black sand dunes, stabilized by the dead winter sea grasses, as a foreground for this image of Vestrahorn mountain and the beach on the Stokksnes Penninsula, Iceland. You can just make out a group of people by the shore, adding scale to the scene.

    Wow Terry! This is totally stunning. I love the black dunes and black sand beach. The people on the beach do in fact yield a great sense of scale for those magnificent mountains.
