Purple Haze

Photograph by Szymon Bielikowski , National Geographic Your Shot

I cannot describe the feelings that were flowing through my entire self when I finally got to J kuls rl n, writes Szymon Bielikowski , a member of our Your Shot community. It was a spiritual experience. Bielikowski photographed the glacial lagoon while on a lone journey through Iceland. I could stay there for weeks, months, who knows how long? he writes. It is as beautiful as it is sad. I will get back there as soon as I can.
