Basalt Beauty

This is an image from a trip to Iceland last year with my brother and his family. It was not a photo trip but I managed to take a few shots here and there. This is Hengifoss which is located in Fljótsdalshreppur, East Iceland and is reached by walking uphill through a beautiful canyon complex for around one hour. It is the 3rd highest waterfall in Iceland. The cliffs are made of basalt with layers of red clay interspersed. A 6 stop ND filter and circular polariser were used to quell some of the glare.
