German photographerJan Erik Waiderhas always been fascinated by the landscapes of the distant North.

He spends much of his time exploring the rugged terrain of Greenland, Norway, Antarctica, and Iceland.

For his latest series of abstract landscapes, Waider took a different approach and decided to focus on color.

Iceland Landscape

He gives the overarching concept a nameA Colorful Flowand it moves across different series.

For the blue series, Waider was inspired by Iceland’s magnificent glacial rivers and ice.

But also by the textures and flow patterns, which create a very complimentary landscape to the glaciers itself.

Iceland Landscape

A completely surreal and new world that can only be seen from the air by plane or drone.

And personally I liked the more monochrome river landscapes, which inspired me to create this series.

Energetic and dynamic, the vibrant warm colors give off a completely different emotion.
