Ice Tunnel by Marsel van Oosten

In South Africa, we’re currently in lockdown level 4, one down from level 5, the strictest one. We have a bit more freedom now, but we’re still very limited as to what we can do. As annoying as this may be, though, it’s not all bad. Or as the great Dutch football legend Johan Cruijff used to say: “Every disadvantage has its advantage”. The biggest advantage of this rather surreal situation is that I suddenly have time to work my way through old folders hiding deep in the abyss of my Lightroom image library. Many of those folders I have never even had the time to look through before, so it’s good fun to do that now. This image is from one of my visits to Iceland in 2015. It was just the two of us, and instead of going to one of the ice caves that all the tour groups go to, we decided to look for one that we had visited a few years earlier. We found it again and had the entire cave to ourselves. Obviously, the shape of the cave had completely changed over time, which made it even more interesting. I love these places as I love architecture, and Mother Nature surely is the finest architect of all. Marsel | squiver.com
