I took this picture in Iceland of the black sand beach and with the grey skies, it turned out almost like a black and white photo. Makes for a nice background.
That's an awesome picture! I'd love to go to Iceland one day. Are the beaches too cold to swim?
To be honest, we really didn't mess around with swimming too much. I think you can swim at the beaches in the summer without much problem. The winter it is probably too cold for more than a quick dip polar bear plunge-style.
We did go swimming in between the divide in the continental plates in the run off water from the glacier there. That was amazing! Had to do it in a dry suit as it was freezing cold, but it was really cool and the water was more than crystal clear.
