My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

 In Vatnajokull National Park, Iceland, one can go many kilometers without seeing a single soul. A sign on the side of the road tells the story of a massive flood that occurred from a volcanic eruption underneath a glacier which sent  water pouring through the valley. This is all that remains of a bridge that once functioned many kilometers upland from where its pieces are now strewn in desolate, isolation. The graffiti and vivid red was stunning against the stark landscape.
