A shot from a January trip around Iceland.
This is the popular black lava sand beach below the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon in Iceland where the river outlet dumps smaller icebergs that flow down the river. The magic of photographing this popular location in January is that the sun rises to the south and you can photograph the icebergs along with the rising or setting sun.
Also, as I am not a morning person. I can wake up late (9-10 am) this time of year and still get the sunrise an hour later. That might be influencing my opinion about liking mid winter as the best season to photograph this place.
