A wide landscape photograph of an Icelandic highland valley where hyper-saturated acid-green and chartreuse moss carpets the valley floor and one sunlit mountainside, cutting hard against near-black volcanic ash slopes in deep shadow. A braided grey glacial river snakes through the mossy flats in flat silvery channels. The sky is blown out to near-white with low flat cloud, pushing all contrast into the land. Shot from an elevated ridge looking down the valley, wide-angle, deep focus front to back, heavily pushed saturation and crushed shadows like cross-processed slide film, no people, no structures.
