Iceland Gardar BA 64
Great shot of Iceland's oldest steel hull ship. Built in 1912 (the same year that Titanic went down) this old whaling ship was beached in 1981 as a monument to the area's whaling tradition. Located on the fjord provides striking beauty in an often changing scenery.
Photography Tips
Very easy to find - right at the intersection of 62 and 612 just east of Patreksfjordur, Iceland. This is a great opportunity for an ND filter (which I did not have with me) to draw in the contrast of the sky to the foreground.
