Gullfoss

The majestic Gullfoss stands on the river Hvitá.

It is in fact two waterfalls, with an upper step of 45ft and a lower of about 60ft. The crest of the falls have formed along two fractures in the bedrock at about 90 degrees to each other.

I took this photo whilst on "The Golden Circle" tour Feb 2013, using a tripod with long exposure to give motion blur to the water. It was really cold, and had to keep cleaning the lens as it was freezing over.
