One of Reynisfjara's striking rock pillars towers up from the roaring ocean, like a lone sentinel that has held out against wind and water for centuries. In this image, loose clouds give the firmament a sense of openness and movement, while the long shutter speed distorts the water into a streaky dance of foam and wave action.
The rock seems almost detached from its surroundings - surrounded by sea, carried by air. It is a place where myths become palpable, where you can almost hear the story of Icelandic trolls whispered among the breaking waves.
This photograph captures not only the dramatic landscape, but also a deeper silence, as if the world here is holding its breath for a moment. The power is in the detail: the play of light, the rhythm of the sea, and the solidity of the stone - all captured in one moment of pure, animated stillness.
My name is Gerry van Roosmalen, photographer and author with a passion for images and stories that touch. After years in the corporate world, I followed my heart and chose photography in 2002. I completed the Fotovakschool in Apeldoorn, specialising in portrait and reportage photography.
