The dragon's awakening - a photo on Flickriver

            Go to Iceland and you will find wonders such as this one, the famous stone dragon of Hvitserkur.

This is the first shot of a series I will publish in the next days, taken in a recent trip to Iceland, my second trip. I hope you will enjoy it.

To take this shot we slept close to the location and woke up a 4:30 in the morning, and at 5 o`clock we were already taking the first shots when the light was still very low. At 5:30 the reddish colours started to appear and ten minutes later the sky was completely red as in the photo. A wonderful spectacle.

This place has one of the iconic images of Iceland with the dragon-shape stone at about 15-20 m from the coast. If you go to Iceland, this is a must-see place.
