Iceland location where Green Fields, Yellow River, Black Beach and Blue Sea meet

14. fascinating. reminds me of another image with an artist

actually a sort of nature sculptor, Andy Goldsworthy. Saw this amazing film of him doing his work.

The situation that this photo of Icelandic river brings to mind, is a scene where Goldsworthy is at a running brook, with these red stones at the bottom of the brook. He reaches in picks up a couple of these and begins rubbing them together in the moving water and it produced this astonishing deep red color streaming with the movement of the water.

It was like the color of blood and streamed like it was liquid. In no time, the stream turned from clear water to what looked like a river of blood. I forget the name of the stones, I'm assuming it was a composite iron minerals.

I'm also reminded of the brilliant "other worldly" colors of the lakes in a certain area in Cascades. Teals, and amazing shades of aqua, turquoise. The Glaciers in Alaska produce an amazing array of colors too,

But this yellow river is stunning.
