Aerial Photographs of Volcanic Iceland
At first glance these photos by Andre Ermolaev look like twisting abstract paintings, but in reality are aerial photos of rivers flowing through Iceland’s endless beds of volcanic ash. Given its name and stereotypical depiction it’s somewhat surprising to learn that the small country named after ice is home to no less than 30 active volcanic systems.

The deed is done
We have all seen the stereotypical images of medieval knights charging on their horses towards damsels and their deaths. This quiet scene is not something that is depicted often: a knight taking off his armour. The image, plain yet remarkably expressive, captures a silent moment after the battle, the echo of the sword clattering is still in the air. With a serious, contemplative face the knight takes off his gear: he lowers his guard and steps back into regular life - less eventful perhaps, but also a lot safer. The deed is done.
