There was a major winter storm going on in Iceland at the time that I took this shot. Driving to the location was challenging enough, but once I got out of the car I could hardly stand due to the high winds blowing snow and sand everywhere. I walked to this location and snapped a few shots, then quickly retreated back to the car. I had planned on using a tripod and taking my time, but I kind of like the intense feel to the hastily shot image.
