Description
Geitafjall Mountain by Miles Whittingham
Geitafjall mountain is on the south coast of Iceland. On the right in this image can be seen the remains of an Icelandic turf farm. On the left of the image in the middle of the rock face can be seen a large cave known as Loftsalahellir Cave.
The cave once served as a natural assembly place for the farmers in the region. They would occassionally meet in the cave as a group to determine the fate of criminals. The ones found guilty were executed nearby at Galgakletlur or "gallows rock".
Today, the region is a peaceful place to visit with lots of good hiking. The area is also full of tidal grass meadows, a rarity in Iceland.
This incredible black and white photograph was taken with a professional Leica medium format camera. The superb quality and high resolution of the camera guarantees that you get the the highest possible image quality. The watermark in the lower right hand corner of the picture does not appear on the final print.
Prints are produced on acid-free paper using archival inks to guarantee they last a lifetime without fading or loss of contrast, colour or tone.
If you chose to order a framed print, the framing is done to museum quality with archival matting. The frame is wired and comes with a wall hook. It is ready to hang on the wall.
