The Closed Eye

Jökulsárgljúfur¹ - 25km long, up to 500m wide, in places 100-120m deep, this impressive canyon forms the northernmost part of Vatnajökull National Park.

The swift waters carry sediment from the glaciers, and one eddy had grown a small black beach. Cut by the ebb and flow of the river, a lovely but fleeting structure had formed.

A closed eye, complete with eyelashes.

A colour photo of a huge canyon with a strong river flowing through it. The rock walls are sheer and coloured from grey to brown. Some yellowing vegetation is on the ledges. At the bottom of the shot near the centre is an odd structure, a patch of black sand in an eddy that has been cut through by water flowing into the river from below the viewpoint. It's formed the shape of an eye, eyelid closed, with exaggerated eyelashes. It's lovely but transitory.
