The UK's current conditions very much remind me of my time spent in Iceland a couple of weeks ago when we were being battered by 90mph gale force winds, snow blizzards and up to -15 degree temperatures.

It was incredibly harsh weather, some of the worst the Icelanders had seen in many years but the other side of the coin is that the scenery was beyond stunning with many subjects isolated against their surroundings.

Here is one such subject and a church that is always an absolute pleasure to photograph. The church at Vik is elevated high up over the town below and this gives you commanding views of the ocean, the iconic sea stacks and the hotel below.

A whiteout started as we arrived hence the somewhat soft nature of the image. It was so beautiful being there in person, not just at Vik but in Iceland full stop. I did not want to leave.
