King Winter - Lake Kýlingavatn in Landmannalaugar, Iceland

Landmannalaugar is known for its colorful landscape in summer. In winter this colorful landscape changes to snowy monotone scenery of hills, ridges and valleys. This image is taken during the transitional period between summer and winter.

Here in Iceland we call the winter "King Winter". If you live in the Arctic you will know why he is called this and specially in highland places like this king winter rules with an iron fist and only for a brief period during peak of summer is he kind to the habitants of his domain.

This photo was taken on a trip with flickr member Sarah. Check out her photos from a bit warmer region of the world.
