Skógafoss is one of the largest and well known falls in Iceland, it's sheer power as it crashes over the sea cliffs has to be seen to be appreciated, if you walk anywhere near toward the bottom of it it's like being in an industrial power shower, and the noise is truly incredible.
The one downside of this place is such is its beauty it's can get very busy, during the day coaches are pulling in all the time with tourists eager to get their selfie sticks out and generally run all over the place like out of control ants. This was the case on this day, I was over here with a few friends and I simply couldn't get the shot I wanted due to rain and the aforementioned ant swarm... they all wanted to go and do a snow mobile tour over the glacier and were getting a bit impatient with my requests to spend a long time at each location which to be honest if you aren't a photographer I totally get! So I told them to leave me here for 5 hours while they went and did that and then come back and find me later....
5 hours may seem a long time but that's 5 hours I've got to get my shots and also to have a good explore of the area well past the top of the falls.
The time went in no time and I got several shots I liked with hardly anyone around (I've included a single 'ant' for scale here), plus some others in locations rarely shot way back along the River Skoga.
I can't believe how long ago this was now, and that I've never posted it up here.

Drax power station. The only coal powered station still under power, but burning wood pellets imported from the US. Once the most powerful power station in the UK, producing 6% of the UK power. Many questions over its sustainable credentials...but it does make or a good photo.
The old power station in the abandoned mining town of Pyramiden. The mountain behind was pretty amazing.

Or not. The Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station in the distance was the first nuclear power plant to be shut down by the vote of the people. It was shut down in 1989 and decommissioned in 2009. The area in the foreground will all be developed.

The power of Palouse Falls was tremendous during this Spring melt! As the morning light filtered in, it was wonderful juxtaposition with overwhelming power of the falls! 1.6sec exposure.

The area around Dungenes Power Station is a Nature Reserve that is classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and is home to many rare and endangered species. An unusual feature of this reserve is the continuous crackling of the high voltage pylons that run overhead from Dungeness Power Station back inland. Today, the haze from the moist air and unusual heat make the pylons fade off in the distance. A little point worthy of note… The glass insulators on the left hand set of pylons are green, while the ones on the right are yellow.
Took this from inside my car as my wife drove us home in the Coachella Valley. Those Iron Giants has a nice symmetry The valley here contains more than 4000 separate windmills in a 70-square-mile area and provides enough electricity to power Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley about 400,000 people Each wind turbine is about 500 feet tall-150 taller then the Statue of Liberty.

I've been desperate to get out with my camera over the holiday but when I've had the opportunity the weather has been so flat and grey. This morning was looking promising though and checking the tide times for the Thames, low tide was almost exactly at the same time as sunset so the probability of a slack tide was looking good. Wasn't expecting to have the photography gods smile on me quite so well though :-)
