Eternal Silence

Under a heavy, overcast sky, the sea stacks of Reynisfjara rise from the North Atlantic like the jagged spines of some ancient, half-submerged creature. Their dark basalt forms are rugged and weathered, each peak twisted into a unique silhouette against the muted horizon.

About Artist

Derek Trapp

Landscape and cityscape photographer based in Calgary, Alberta. I’m a passionate photographer with a love for capturing the beauty of the natural world and the vibrant energy of urban life. Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until I retired from a long and successful career in the business world that I truly immersed myself in this art form. What began as a hobby quickly became a passion as I discovered the transformative power of light and composition in creating breathtaking images. My artistic journey has been one of discovery, patience, and dedication. Sunrise and sunset, in particular, have become my favorite times to create—moments when the world is bathed in golden hues or soft twilight, and every detail is imbued with a sense of magic. These fleeting windows of time demand precision and persistence, but the reward is unmatched: dramatic skies, glowing landscapes, and cityscapes alive with light and shadow.
