Cotton Field
by Orvaratli
This is an image from last July of cotton grass growing in shallow water.
Landmannalaugar is like an oasis on the life-little central highland of Iceland. Being at altitude of 500-600m it is remarkably vegetated. One if the most interesting vegetation feature are these cotton grass fields in one of the many wetlands around.

Texture of sky n the depth of this picture is very nice n that too with a silhoutte appearance, it appears really very catchy.

This place is surrounded by mountains; perhaps it has its own microclimate; in any case this is a lovely shot; thanks for sharing.

When I saw the title and your name I thought “How can that be? Cotton fields in Iceland? Orvaratli must be traveling somewhere South!” What a nice surprise to see that beautiful Icelandic scene with cotton grass, wetlands and mountains. The sky is gorgeous.
