Daily Nature Fix: Glacier Sunset. (Original Photos)

in nature •  7 years ago 

What's up, turkeys? I apologize. That was uncalled for. I'm in a bit of a foul mood because I just found out the 1st place winner of last week's Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest was a scammer who used a plagiarized photo. If you want to check it out and flag them, here's the link: https://steemit.com/aswcontest/@kellygee/new-theme-abandoned-shit-weekly-contest-17-vehicles-aswcontest

Anyway, tonight's Daily Nature Fix is going encompass two of the coolest things out there in nature. Glaciers and sunsets. This was taken in December in southeastern Iceland at the Svinafellsjokull glacier.

It was a bit of a panorama, but it came out pretty cool. In the immediate foreground to the right is part of the glacier's lagoon. The glacier itself is in the center-ish and has a bit of a blue appearance. Sunset seems to last forever in Iceland at that time of the year. I'd say a good hour and 45 minutes.

And a bit later as things got darker. Notice the little chunk of ice standing up in the distance on the horizon. Perhaps it's an ice troll???

Magnificent photos, good combination of sunset with glaciers.

Sorry for the scammers, unfortunately they are everywhere. Better luck next time. These photos are great, I love them.

Glad you like the photos, @erikah! Yeah, that scammer was the pits. It was especially embarrassing since had him win 1st place originally. lol

You should ban him for life!

I wonder why people don't follow rules, well I can't blame you for flagging them cos they deserve it

That place look icy ❄

Cheaters never win. I'm glad I caught them. They have since admitted to it and apologized, but I'll be muting them so they cant join the contest again.

Cool! Thanks for you the shout out, man.

You are highly welcome

Why do they do that? So annoying... I don't see the point.
However, your panorama looks AMAZING!!

Hey, thanks! I don't get it. Especially when the whole contest is just meant to be fun. Really shitty of them.

Yeah that's right... completely agree with you! Onto bigger and better things now, I'm still procrastinating over overgrown : )

Flagged the scammer @customnature That totally sucks!
Your photographs are superb!

Thanks for getting my back, yo. They have since fessed up to it all. I've muted them to make sure they don't try to join the contest again.

Happy to help -- it was the least I could do! @customnature

Wow, very beautiful. It reminds me of some scenes in the Lord of the Rings movies when they're in the snow

Actually, you're not too far off. This very glacier was used in a few scenes on Game of Thrones!

Oh that's cool. I've seen a few seasons of that

Hello @customnature, it's annoying when things like that happen!
There are many dishonest people who want to make money without effort.
but the great photo makes you forget that bad time.
I love this sunset! I would like to be there I need something cold at the moment there is a lot of heat now!
Nature does not offer so many beautiful wonders! when being captured by someone, other people can see it too and enjoy so much beauty even if you are not there! 😍

Glad you like the photos. Iceland is pretty incredible. We keep going back to that country. haha

Yes, from what I've seen in pictures Iceland is incredible... Steemit will allow me someday to visit him hehehehe 😂

Looks cold, but nicely warmed by the golden sunlight :)

damn spammers and plagiarism! They're everywhere!
