 Naustahvilft is a large basin in Skutulsfjordur opposite the town Isafjordur in NW Iceland. There is a splendid view over the town and around the fjord. According to old legend Naustahvilft have occurred when a large and heavy giantess who was traveling around the country got tired of walking and got a seat in Kirkjubol mountain. There she sat, and washed her feet in the sea, the troll was so heavy that the mountain slid, and when she got up there was a gigantic depression in the hillside, hence the name Giantess Seat. Naustahvilft is eminent from Isafjordur and is also called Trolls Seat and the Bowl.

Patience is the mark of a great photographer. Here, I think the cloud hovering over the seat which is your subject really takes away from the shot. You could have waited until the cloud passed to get the great light!
