Description
~~~~~From Norse Mythology
Niflheim ("house of mists") is the far northern region of icy fogs and mists, darkness and cold. It is situated on the lowest level of the universe. The realm of death, Helheim, is part of this vast, cold region. Niflheim lies underneath the third root of Yggdrasil, close to the spring Hvergelmir ("roaring cauldron"). Also situated on this level is Nastrond, the Shore of Corpses, where the serpent Nidhogg eats corpses and gnaws on the roots of Yggdrasil.
After Ragnarok, there will be a hall here for the punishment of murderers, oath breakers, and philanderers.

I like the ominous brooding effect going on here. I really like it. It also has that outer worldly look...something off of Star Trek. ha.
Good job

Wow, what a mood. It looks so cold and waste. The title is really appropriate. The high level of contrast and the dark colours really bring out a sad, yet somehow beautiful feeling.

It's just - wow!
I like the light reflecting from and through the ice, the smooth clouds, b&w mood, and ...all the picture, how it's done...
Bow to nature for creating,
bow to you for capturing...
