Godafoss
"Are we bothering with Godafoss or not?" rang the question as I looked at my watch, eager to make my way to Aldeyjarfoss 25 miles away down a gravel track with an additional 40 minute hike to follow thereafter. After wandering through the gift shop and holding my hunger at bay with an ubiquitous Icelandic hot dog from the cafe we wandered out to have a recce at what we thought might be a rather too large Godafoss. The research had suggested that one viewpoint below the broad main falls through a wide angle lens might be worth a try, and so it proved to be, Lee happily setting up his tripod right in the middle of my own composition. And so we have a middle aged excitable Aston Villa fan (if that in itself isn't an oxymoron) pointing his Sony at another majestic piece of Icelandic scenery.
My word what a country this is. We travelled the entire ring road just to visit Aldeyjarfoss and Godafoss, although a sneaky extracurricular whale watching expedition out of Husavik the following morning proved to be one of the admittedly plentiful highlights of the week.
Iceland. Have you been thinking about going? Saying to your photography buddies, "we need to go to Iceland you know?" Book your flights, and the adventure will surely follow.
