Iceland is unique, a land of stark contrasts and breathtaking beauty. Traveling there in winter reveals a landscape blanketed in snow, transforming the scenery into a surreal, monochromatic wonderland. On this particular occasion, we found ourselves driving through a fierce blizzard, the wind howling and trying its best to push our van off the road and into oblivion. The conditions were treacherous, to say the least.

Amid the whiteout, my attention was captured by an unexpected sight: a series of power poles. They were the only splash of color against the endless white, standing out dramatically against the blizzard. While my fellow photographers thought I was crazy for finding beauty in such mundane objects, I found them sublime. These poles, with their stark, utilitarian presence, trailed off into the distance, creating a striking visual contrast with the snowy landscape.

I was captivated by their arrangement. The way they stood in a line, each one seemingly imbued with its own personality, gave them a sense of purpose and unity. It was as if they had organized themselves to withstand the harsh elements together, striving toward a common goal.

Despite the 80km/h winds buffeting our bus and causing it to slide sideways on the icy road, I knew I had to capture this moment. I braced myself, aiming my camera through the front window of the bus. With a shutter speed of 1/1500 second, I minimized any camera shake caused by the jostling vehicle. The result was a series of photographs that perfectly encapsulated the raw, unfiltered essence of Iceland in winter.

The power poles, against the backdrop of the storm, told a story of resilience and endurance. They stood as silent sentinels, enduring the relentless wind and snow, much like the people and wildlife of this harsh but beautiful land. For me, this image was more than just a snapshot of a snowy day; it was a testament to the unexpected beauty that can be found in the most unlikely places and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of nature's fury.

As we continued our journey through the blizzard, I couldn't help but reflect on the power of perspective. While others saw only ugly power poles, I saw a narrative of strength and perseverance. It's moments like these that remind me why I love photography: it allows us to see the world through different lenses, finding beauty and meaning in every frame, even in the midst of a storm.

WHICH FINISH?

Great question! Here's what we recommend...

CANVAS - On trend (we sell heaps) and great for most homes with lots of windows. Soaks up the reflection.
ACRYLIC - On trend with its frameless look. Suits modern homes with big white walls. Highly reflective though.
METAL - The shinny version of canvas. It's framed the same way but instead is very shinny and flat.
FRAMED - Traditional look however we don't sell many framed prints these days.
ROLLED - Perfect if you have your own framer however, remember framing is expensive!
