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.

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.

Die alte Tante Ju (korrekt Junkers Ju 52/ 3m) ist für mich DAS Beispiel für begeisternde Luftfahrt, Technik und Pioniergeist.
Ich hatte die Ehre, kurz vor Schließung des Flughafens Tempelhof (TXF) von dort mit der Junkers Ju 52 abzuheben, das war Nostalgie pur.
Das Technikmuseum Berlin stellt in seiner sehenswerten Luftfahrausstellung die D- AZAW "Hans Kirschstein" aus, ein Besuch lohnt sich.

We have spent one night over there but was not very happy cause our room was dedicated to Paul McCartney, they should know John Lennon was my idol, anyway patchouli scented soap in the bathroom and flowers on the table have made it all good :)
Washington Water Power built its first hydroelectric generating facility on Monroe Street in 1890, and has been producing power from this location ever since. Located at the heart of downtown Spokane, the dam was instrumental in providing electric lighting for Spokane's streets and businesses as opposed to lighting via candles and oil lamps. The dam was rebuilt just before the 1974 World's Fair, and a new underground powerhouse was added in 1992, replacing the vintage 1900-era turbines and generators with a modern generating unit that produced twice the electrical power using the same amount of water flow. WWP also donated 5 acres for expos that later became part of the Spokane Riverfront development.
