Very famous location but 99% of photos are crap and yours will stand out in the 1%.

You did an amazing job at getting the location depth and a new perspective

We visited there in May a few years ago. I have never been colder than I was that day. But it was so beautiful. Not to be missed.

You are telling me this isn’t Majula from Dark Souls II? Lol

Also very impressive photography. Beautiful photo, perfectly captures the colouring and setting.

I went to Vik a few years back. It was such a big dot on the map, I was expecting a small city. But it's so tiny, like 10 houses or so, it was kind of funny as we were not expecting that . Absolutely beautiful place, I still dream of Iceland regularly.

This is a great shot. I spent two days trying to get a decent shot of the trolls and this blows mine away.

Ok, was wondering how obnoxious I would be for saying its actually Vík í Mýrdal. But then I see someone writing it as Vic. Our towns are not named after italian gangsters.

If you went to Vik I hope you stopped at Skool Beans, they have the best coffee shop cat ever.

Gorgeous shot, and I bet you had to bear with the awful wind there for a while to get it, which makes it even more awesome.

Have you shared it on Twitter by any chance? I'd love to RT and share it with my friends there.

If you said this was Mars before it lost water I'd believe you. It's a very nice photo.

Vik is such a cool place. It looks so relaxing there but that sea can be deadly

Replying to Lalli-Oni (#1,704,668)

For anyone wondering, Vík means bay. Which is a really nonspecific place name by itself.

That said, all the other Vík placenames in Iceland have Vík come after (Reykjavík, Húsavík, Grindavík, etc) so when you say Vík... you probably mean Vík í Mýrdal.

Definitely not Vic. Vík is a root for Viking.

Everything is lined up perfectly., the sun, the waves, the view. Pretty amazing photo.

Hey! I've been there! Iceland was an absolute dream vacation and I would go back in a heartbeat. Fun fact right I'm Vik there is a really pretty hill you can climb up, the view is gorgeous. The wind is often strong enough to almost blow you over though

The waves look like plateus. It throws the whole perspective in such a fun way. It becomes otherworldly even if you know this place. Hope you had a good time.

What keeps me going in this world is that if I keep working hard I will get enough money some day to travel around the world, especially to places like these and take my own pictures.

This just became one of my favorite photos of Iceland! Really great shot there.
