Taken around Seljalandsfoss Waterfall in Iceland. This was my favorite area in Iceland. It was breathtaking.
When I arrived there, I have had the idea to capture the fall by night but I didn't know that it was lit by spotlights. Nevermind I took the shot.
Iceland, Seljalandsfoss falls

Hinter dem Wasserfall ist der Fels ausgehöhlt und man kann deshalb hinter dem Wasservorhang durchlaufen.
is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall is part of the Seljalands River that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. The waterfall drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline.You can walk behind the falls into a small cave.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6 :) and probably the waterfall in Iceland that is most photographed along with Gullfoss. I like to go there in the night at winter time because the lightning is amazing as well as there is much less traffic :0) This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline.
Seljalandsfoss is situated in between Selfoss and Skógafoss at the road crossing of Route 1 (the Ring Road) with the track going into Þórsmörk. That means that right now it is not accessible due to flood down Markafljót river from Eyjafjallajökull because of the eruption. I just hope that this area as well as many others on the area around the eruption site will not be damage to much after all this.
Hope you all will have a great Tuesday and thanks for visiting my stream...

Yes, ANOTHER waterfall.
This one's pretty unique as you can actually walk around the edge and stand behind the waterfall.

Words can't describe the awe of this scene, so I won't even try.
But I can tell you how difficult it was to get this shot. Though it looks like the waterfall is far from the camera, the mist was omnipresent, and my tripod was setup on wet slippery mud. Since I could only take off the lens cap off for about 3 seconds before the mist covered the lens, it was extremely difficult to compose, focus, and shoot, let alone get 3 bracketed exposures to create the HDR.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It is very picturesque and therefore its photo can be found in many books and calendars.

Another waterfall ;o) You get loads of these in Iceland.
Well, this one is something special because you can walk behind the waterfall on a very slippery path and after some rock clambering you'll end on that bridge in the picture.
Because it was so wet I took most of these pictures with my compact camera, which is waterproof.

Noch ein Wasserfall. Davon gibt es in Island reichlich.
Der hier ist aber irgendwie schon anders, weil man nämlich hinter ihm stehen und (bei entsprechendem Wind) komplett nass werden kann. Der Weg war ziemlich nass und rutschig und dann musste man auch noch über diverse Steine klettern, bis man dann auf der Brücke gelandet ist, die man hier auf dem Foto sieht. Darum habe ich die meisten der Bilder mit meiner Kompaktkamera gemacht. Die ist wasserdicht....

During the Summer Solstice, the sun never fully goes down in Iceland. It sets around 11:30pm-12:00am, and then begins rising around 2:00am or so. This results in either a long, glorious and seamless sunset to sunrise scenario, or a nice gentle and even overcast light for several hours. We planned our trip so that we would be near some of the waterfalls I wanted to photograph on many nights of the trip, which led to me spending many late nights alone at some of the most epic waterfalls while my wife rested back in our room.
This is Seljalandsfoss, which was one of my favorite waterfalls on our first trip to Iceland. It is 60 meters high and looks even more beautiful in the summer, with the lush green grass and flowered fields seeming to stretch for days into the distance along the cliff side.
The sunset I received on this evening was serene and dramatic. The wind was kind, so I was able to spend a significant amount of time behind the waterfall without getting my equipment too wet.
These shots were all taken between 11:30pm and 1:30am local time, using Lee graduated filters to help control the exposure.
From Wikipedia:
Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 (Iceland) and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall is one of the most popular waterfalls and natural wonders in Iceland. The waterfall drops 60 meters and is part of the river Seljalands-river that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajokull. One of the interesting things about this waterfall is the fact that visitors can walk behind it into a small cave. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6
This was my favorite waterfall. If you look closely, you can see the trail that allows you to walk behind the waterfall. Taken at 9:00 PM.
In my poor estimation, you simply can't have too many photos of this natural wonder.
Bizarrely, in spite of the fact that you can walk behind the falls, I failed to do so. Why? I must simply have not gotten around to it. Not a good explanation, but the only one I can muster. It's confounding, considering the fact that as soon as I drove up to the place, I fell madly in love with it--so why not go up and meet it? Why be content to view it from afar? The dandruff is falling all over my keyboard as I scratch my head in bewilderment.
Anyway, this is the second photo I've uploaded of this waterfall, the first being: www.flickr.com/photos/80014607@N05/35252659800/ . It's right smack dab in between Hella and Vik on the Ring Road, about a 90 minute drive from Reykjavik, and a stop on all the tours that tackle all or at least the southern section of the Ring Road.
A unique waterfall in the river Seljalandsá, about 30 km west from Skógar. While it may not look like it, the falls are 60 meters high with a foot path behind it at the bottom of the cliff, but with a thin cascade. It is the only known waterfall of its kind, where it is possible to walk behind it, which you can see from this angle.
A very tricky shot to grab on a freezing -15 degree morning - with the wind blowing the spray directly onto me, freezing the lens (and me) instantly.
Looks best on black.
