Icelandic Tower Block Dawn Pool Reflection

Steel and concrete rise sharply against a sky thick with heavy overcast clouds. The rectangular tower block stands at the foot of a monumental staircase carved from dark volcanic stone. Pools of water lie flat on the ground, mirroring the building's sharp edges and the pale, diffuse light of dawn. The endless summer glow softens the harsh angles without warming the scene. Textures of rough basalt contrast with the smooth, wet surfaces of the reflecting pool. A low angle emphasizes the height of the structure against the grey expanse above. at the edge is the crisp white foam line where the water meets the dark stone edge of the pool.
