Bridge Crossing the Glacial Sandur

Iceland, Eastern Region, Hornafjörður, Skeiðarársandur. A lone bridge cuts a straight line through the chaotic, vein-like patterns of black volcanic sediment and silty glacial rivers. This desolate expanse sits in the shadow of distant glaciers and craggy peaks under a heavy, dramatic sky.
