Iceland Day 2 - When Skies Open

After visiting Bruarfoss we continued our journey towards another well-known waterfall called Háifoss. I was hoping to be there around sunset, because the light in the valley can be amazing around there. We managed to be there half an hour before sunset, but the sun had already disappeared and it even started to rain a bit. Then suddenly the sky started to open again and a warm glow was getting visible on the horizon. Even some fog started to roll in and I quickly set up my tripod. It only lasted for 5 minutes or so, before the fog and the clouds completely blocked the last light. While I had hoped for more direct sunlight beforehand, it turns out that I like the soft glow just as much, because this also gives a lot of atmosphere. I used a wide angle for this classic shot and even though I think there’s a lot of depth in this photograph, standing on the edge of this cliff cannot be captured with a camera. Or not by me anyway, what a landscape…

 

Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
