Frozen

Photograph by Felix Inden , National Geographic Your Shot

Hunched like an animal in repose, a large piece of ice catches the light at Breidamerkursandur, a black-sand beach in southeastern Iceland. Just after sunrise, Your Shot member Felix Inden had left behind a portion of the beach crowded with photo tours. I just wanted to be alone and look at those waves, patterns, and ice, he writes. This particular piece caught his eye quickly as he walked down the beach. Somehow I felt that we were friends and called him Luigi.

Inden s picture recently appeared in Your Shot s Daily Dozen .
