Sunset at Vestrahorn Mountain and Stokksnes Beach in Iceland

Sunset at Vestrahorn Mountain and Stokksnes Beach in Iceland
Sunset at Vestrahorn mountain and Stokksnes beach in Iceland. Fine art prints are available.

Vestrahorn mountain in the Stokksnes Peninsula of Iceland is such a beautiful and epic location. We visited this place twice despite having to pay an entrance fee since it is a private location! We were paid back by an amazing sunset, which you can see here. An alpine red glow had covered the mountain peaks. The clouds had so many beautiful red, pink and orange tones. The next morning we went back and witnessed an amazing sunrise at Vestrahorn. The low freezing temperature had prohibited many tourists from getting there this autumn day. So, there weren’t too many photographers around. You can literally spend hours in this location especially if you are a photographer. You can photograph the reflection of the mountain, the black sand dunes and the waves with so many different compositions. However, be careful for the sneaker waves! They appear without warning!

Here is another photo I capture of the comet C/202 Here is another photo I capture of the comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). This photo was taken at Nea Paralia of Thessaloniki.
As I photographed the comet, many people stopped to chat and catch a glimpse through my camera, as it was hardly visible to the naked eye. If you’re one of those who came by, feel free to say hello!

The photo was taken a few minutes after sunset in Thessaloniki, looking west. I was fortunate to capture this once-in-80,000-year comet as well as an incredible sunset! I also had the pleasure of meeting another comet hunter, with whom we had a nice talk while we waited for the comet to appear!
