I think it definitely has not been easy for my buddy “Niki Haselwanter Photo” to literally “freeze” for 10 seconds for the shot on the top of that sanddune. With gusts of wind with 25m/s it nearly had been impossible to take any shots. Blizzards kept on hitting the coastline that night and it had been challenging not to been blown away. But during the gaps we could witness wonderful northern lights behind the Vestrahorn. The clearing gaps only lasted for a few minutes so we had to be quick to take our shots before the next blizzard was hitting us again. Anyway though being sandblasted for the hole night (I found a „handful“ of black lava sand in my backpack back home) it had been a magical night and one of my favorite places on Iceland.
On this secluded beach in Kauai I was on a search for a hidden sea cave a friend had told me about. It started with a frantic hike in the dark along a coastal trail skirting a rising cliff. Searching for for the cave yielded no results, so it was time for Plan B. And unfortunately there was no Plan B.
I returned back to the beach covered in sweat. I always liked these trees that spotted the beach, and wanted to show them off with the sunrise.
