      The photo above taken on the  Holtsós Lagoon in  Southern Iceland   
      highlights the calm wind moving across the water and a  sun pillar   
      on the horizon. Due to the calm waters, a reflection of the sun pillar   
      is clearly visible on the lagoon along with the silhouette of the   
       Vestmannaeyjar (Western Islands). A sun pillar is a form of optical   
      phenomenon caused when  hexagonal shaped ice crystals suspended in   
      the atmosphere are oriented horizontally and reflect incoming sunlight   
      toward an observer. Pillar hue can vary based on environmental   
      conditions, such as  cloud cover and  Sun color. The silence and   
      calm made everything very surreal.
