[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Icelandic roads in all their beauty. The ring road around the island was completed only 30 years ago. However, the roads are under constant riks -- the great volcano eruption and following flood in the Southern part of the country destroyed many roads there, breaking the connection for months.

The road at the picture is in so-called 'Interior', inside part of Iceland. In the winter most of these roads are closed even for 4x4 trucks, because they are getting very dangerous and absolutely not accessible.

P.S. Would like to boast a bit that the photo was made in a moving bus through its windglass.

Hi Igor,
It's a special landscape. Frosty, hilly and treeless. Great viewpoint showing open road on best possible light. That frosty weather makes it beautiful, and hell for the driver.
Kari

Hi,

Cold cloudy day. the rood seems endless... I like your composition it tels the story... Well done.. TFS

With my best regards

What a strange country it is. No trees at all.
Great composition, great perspective, great patterns. Nostalgy and sadness. Greetings T.

I didn't know that Iceland could be that inspiring, this reminds me of high altitude roads in central Asia and Tibet or Turkestan... Splendid photo, bravo !

Hi Igor, wonderful image, a great one, with that long perspective on the road.
the grey tones everywhere are fantastic, as the POV, the quality and exposure.

Hi Igor,
The converging roads a very strong overall effect.The pre-visualisation is quite strong, the composition is simple yet very strong, the overall atmosphere looks brilliant.
Regards.
Partha

Great shot. It gives you the urge to hit the road on such a cold, snowy day in a warm car. Well done.
Fusun

Hi Igor,
A very nice photo of this road and the poles with the telephone wires on the side. You can follow the poles all the way to the horizon where you can't follow the road after the first hill.
Even though it is cloudy you managed to get some good light here. Well done from a driving bus!
Harko

Hello Igor,
I can only stare at this shot long time. Nice POV and an unusual road and terrain. I wonder how it felt to be there. Were there any nearby cities?
