Hvítserkur rests in Northwest Iceland and has become quite the popular subject for landscape photographers. The rock sits alone in a bay, set against mossy rocks and black sand. It is said to look like a dragon drinking, can you see it?

Great shot. I was in Iceland for 2 1/2 weeks in September and shot Hvítserkur at high tide. The beauty of the foreground rocks at low tide is remarkable. Nicely done.
