About the Photo: Icelandic Horses

Golden morning light spills across an open field as Icelandic horses graze quietly not far from Hella in southern Iceland. Backlit by the rising sun, the warm tones illuminated the horses and surrounding landscape.

It was that backlight that stopped me in my tracks and made me turn around to capture these horses. Photographed on the final morning of the trip, this moment appeared unexpectedly while driving through the countryside back to my hotel. I had just photographed Bruarfoss towards the end of blue hour, and was on my way back for much needed sleep before flying home later that day. But this stop was fully worth the loss of another 30 minutes of sleep.

Known for their strength and distinctive features, Icelandic horses are an enduring symbol of the island country’s rural heritage. By capturing them in this soft light, I was able to highlight both their character and the peaceful rhythm of life in Iceland’s wide open, rural spaces.
