This past weekend, I woke up bright and early for my first ever photography bike ride with my buddy, Cris. While it was a bit more overcast than we would have liked, I think the bike offers me a way to carry my equipment in the city, travel a decent distance, and not have to worry about parking anywhere. Hopefully the winter weather holds off a little bit longer so that I can get a few more of these in this year.
This shot was taken at Northerly Island, just south of the Shedd aquarium near the new prairie lands.

This is the famous ice beach near Jokulsarlon. This place is so unique and photogenic that we stopped here for two precious sunrises. Even without the perfect light that we had on our visits here, this place is extremely photogenic.
The ice beach is truly one of a kind and is actually a recent phenomenon. As the nearby glacier melts, icebergs break off of the glacier and flow into a channel that feeds into the ocean. Many of these icebergs, some as big as cars, are carried onto shore by the tide forming a black sand beach covered in ice. When people ask about my trip I often describe this phenomenon as I think it defines the type of diverse landscapes that Iceland has.

Today's shot is another one from this Wednesday's early morning wake up. While I usually don't like to crop my photos, I did crop this one mostly due to laziness and not wanting switch lenses yet again.
