Tripping the light fantastic


Fill'd her with thee, a daughter fair,
So buxom, blithe, and debonair.
Haste thee nymph, and bring with thee
Jest and youthful Jollity,
Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles,
Nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles,
Such as hang on Hebe's cheek
And love to live in dimple sleek;
Sport that wrinkled Care derides,
And Laughter holding both his sides.
Come, and trip it as ye go
On the light fantastic toe.

Exceprt from "A'llegro" by John Milton (1631)


At Geysir in Island in glorious mid-November afternoon Sun. Only processing was a crop. The best light in the World, probably, well the best I've seen so far. The Sun hangs low in the sky from dawn till dusk at this time of year...it's a photographer's dream!

I now shoot in RAW, so with luck, I'll replace this with a much crisper version later...

This is poetry my friend. You said it in a picture with feeling with the chasing of the light. Just brillant. BRAVO for such work.

There are many places in Iceland that are a joy for any photographer. We can see that when we look at the photographs from those that live there and are born there. But theirs is the native eye, they see it in their own way. I have been at Geysir many, many times,since my father was a guide and I got to travel with him as often as I wanted, and I did. And I have seen any amount of shots from there.
This shot from goes straight to the top. Of all the shots I have seen from the area, your shot conveys the atmosphere of the place, not just what we see but also what one can imagine is underneath.
Absolutely stunning work. I am in awe.
