Iceland Day 5 - A Cold Start at Gljufrabui
The fifth day started early and very cold! Before breakfast I went back to the parking at Seljalandfoss, and a few hundred meters further there’s Gljufrabui, another beautiful waterfall that is a bit hidden in a narrow gorge. To get there without getting your feet wet, you’ll have to step over a few rocks. But this is quite easy to do, and then suddenly it seems like you’re standing in a cave. It is a stunning scenery but pretty hard to capture. Even with my 15mm I had a hard time finding a pleasing composition. But maybe this could also have been due to the beers from the night before. The challenge was compounded by the cold, which left my fingers almost numb. It wasn’t even very cold outside, but a bit of wind and the spray of the waterfall which made everything soaking wet, made it feel like sub-zero temperatures. You probably understand I was happy enough with this shot and packed my stuff as quickly as I could. Meanwhile the breakfast we ordered, made out of fresh fruit, yoghurt, warm breads, pancakes and all kind of sweet stuff, was delivered. I forgot about the cold immediately, with the first shot in the bag. With a full stomach we left the cabin and headed for Vik, in what I can describe as stormy conditions…
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
(1/6s for the sky, 0,6s for the waterfall)
