Legend of the fall

When you visit Skogafoss waterfall you can easily get overawed by it's sheer size, the power of the water and the deafening roar.

It's a beast of nature that measures 82ft across with a spectacular drop of over 200ft, it certainly gets your pulse racing the closer you get.

The pounding thud as the water hits the floor, the mist and spray and that sense of power was definitely something I wanted to somehow portray in my images.

I soon realised the only way to get that shot was to zoom in close to base of the waterfall and hope some mad fool would get close enough to give the image some scale.

Thankfully this kind gent made his move and headed for an instant soaking amongst the mist... what a legend!
