Photographer captures fairytale-like horses that roam Iceland’s landscape
The magical beauty of Icelandic horses are on full display in these wonderful pictures by photographer Drew Doggett.
In his latest photographic series – In the Realms of Legends – Doggett ventured to Iceland to photograph what he calls the “noble and resilient horses native to Iceland.”
The horses are as deeply rooted in Iceland’s mythology as the land itself and Doggett’s photos capture the ethereal, magical qualities of both the landscape and horse.

Drew Doggett For one photo he calls “Noble Light” he remarked on his website: “I found this multi-faceted jet black rock face played an elegant counterpart to the white horse who appears to be illuminated by a divine light.”
