Skogafoss, one of the main reasons I wanted to come to Iceland. It certainly didn't disappoint. I even got sprayed with water capturing this shot from this distance

A spectacular end to yesterday as the last day of Summer drew to a close with this red rainbow at Thornton Force. After a day of torrential and thundery showers I thought it would be worth checking out the water levels, so headed to the nearby River Twiss in Kingsdale.
As the evening was still pretty damp and overcast, I didn't expect any decent light so hiked to Pecca Falls which is a fine series of cascades located in an impressive ravine. I spent quite some time photographing these waterfalls, getting soaked in the process from a combination of both water spray and rainfall.
I packed up my camera equipment, thinking I'd dry it off when I got back to my lodge. However, as I looked up I suddenly noticed a hint of red in the sky. As I was in a steep wooded ravine I couldn't see the conditions above, so quickly dashed uphill to have a better look.
As I climbed higher and higher, the sky started to burn with a blaze of red. I nearly had a heart attack running up the steep path to Thornton Force, where this red rainbow suddenly appeared in front of me. This is the first time I've ever photographed a red rainbow, which occurs when the sun is on the horizon meaning shorter wavelengths of blue, green and yellow light, leaving a primarily red appearance.
As I unpacked my camera, everything had completely steamed up in my bag. It was a complete rush drying everything off quickly in time to capture the rainbow before it disappeared, but luckily I managed a few quick images before the light went.
The mighty Thornton Force, which is an impressive 50ft tall, was completely dwarfed by the huge rainbow which framed the cascading River Twiss perfectly. However, luckily due to the heavy amount of rainfall the waterfall still looked impressive beneath it.

For the Macro Monday theme "Button(s)". At night the little button belongs to The Dark Force ;-)
During the day it changes, have a look here.
It is the same button, the one you are looking at right now is the backside.
Si j'étais une Puissance Divine ou supérieure, je ferais que tous ceux que l'on Aime , soient aussi forts et solides que ces splendides chênes centenaires...
Mais je ne suis qu'une humaine sans pouvoirs, que celui d'espérer et de ....photographier l'espoir....💖
"Force" is local dialect for "falls" and does not refer to the power or flow of the river, hence these are the lower falls on the upper river Tees.

Probably the most famous of the Lake District waterfalls, the main force falls 70 feet from below a stone footbridge. Aira Force provides a glimpse of a landscaped Victorian park with dramatic waterfalls, arboretum and rocks scenery.
In the 1780’s the Howard family of Greystoke Castle had an old hunting lodge or Pele tower close to the Ullswater shore renovated into what is now Lyulph’s Tower, set among its own sporting estate. They landscaped the area around the force, and used it as a pleasure garden, planting over half a million native and ornamental trees, and established a network of tracks, footpaths and bridges. In 1846 the Howards created an arboretum below Aira Force, planting over 200 specimen conifers (firs, pines, spruces and cedars) from all over the world, including a Sitka Spruce, now 118 feet high.

Finished the Display down Kenfig today and to be honest it didn't go too great, didn't sell anything but I did have some nice feedback on some images, I am going to continue trying to sell them over the next few months. I am feeling a bit down about my photography at the moment but I think we all get like that from time to time. Hence the waterfall image :) they always make me feel better :P
One of several magnificent waterfalls on Paddock Beck which runs toward Askrigg in Wenselydale. Mill Gill Force is just beautiful, cutting its way into a gorge with lush vegetation around it. A lot easier to access than Whitfield Gill Force too.
Gullfoss, known as the "Golden Falls" due to the water's golden color caused by sediments from the earth and glacial ice, is located in the Hvítá river canyon in Southwest Iceland which the geologists believe was formed by glacial outbursts at the beginning of the last ice age.
As I was standing in front of it on that overcast late morning, I could feel the pure power and energy coming from the rushing water.
Here's an interesting history of this majestic waterfall:
"In the early days of the last century, Gullfoss was at the center of a controversy regarding foreign investors and their desire to profit off Iceland’s nature. In the year 1907, an English businessman, Howell, sought to utilize the waterfall’s energy and harbored ambitions to use its energy to fuel a hydroelectric plant.
At the time, Gullfoss was owned by a farmer named Tómas Tómasson. Tómas declined Howell’s offer to purchase the land, stating famously “I will not sell my friend!” He would, however, go on to lease Howell the land without the knowledge of a loophole that would allow him to proceed with his plans.
It was Tómas’ daughter, Sigríður Tómasdóttir, who would lead the charge to stop Howell’s ambitions. Having grown up on her father’s sheep farm where she helped pave the first road to Gullfoss, she sought to get the contract nullified, hurriedly saving her own money to hire a lawyer.
The ensuing legal battle was an uphill struggle; the case continued for years, forcing Sigríður to travel many times by foot to Reykjavík, a distance of over 100 kilometers (62 miles). Circumstances became so difficult that Sigríður threatened to throw herself into the waterfall if any construction began.
Her tenacity, however, resulted in success. In 1929, Howell withdrew from the lease, unable to keep up with the costs and difficulties of his plan. The waterfall thus fell back into the hands of the Icelandic people.
Today, Sigríður is recognized for her perseverance in protecting Gullfoss and is often hailed as Iceland’s first environmentalist. As such, she is one of the most famous figures in Iceland’s history. Her contribution is forever marked in stone; a plaque detailing her plight sits at the top of Gullfoss.
Interestingly, the lawyer who assisted Sigríður, Sveinn Björnsson, went on to go down in history too; he became the first president of an independent Iceland in 1944."
Thank you for your time and visit, dear Flikerite; have a great week ahead! 🌷🌻
Aira Force Waterfall. I haven't been to the falls for a couple of years, so took an early morning walk with the camera. A dull overcast day which are really the best kind of conditions for shooting falls.
Aira Force, Ullswater, Lake District
This "overspill" waterfall only appears when the river is quite full. When there has been a storm it appears to be carrying as much water as the main falls !
Welcome to the rugged southern tip of Yorke Peninsula, South Australian...
The west facing coastline inside Dhilba Guuranda - Innes National Park, near Stenhouse Bay and stretching 60ks north, is rugged and exposed to strong Southern Ocean swells. Featuring jagged shorelines with spectacular, rugged coastal cliffs hammered by huge surf, interspersed with protected bays that harbour secluded surf beaches, bordered by native scrubland and numerous small sand dunes. During the right conditions, a really good break, surfers have reported 10ft waves in some areas along this coast. Mother nature or King Neptune at their best.
This coast is a unique and ideal place for me to enjoy my photography.

It was a steamy hot day today. The dark clouds were rolling in over the city. According to the weather app, there was no rain forecast. The Bureau of Meteorology radar said otherwise. It showed a massive storm happening over the bay. I jumped in the car and raced down to Seaford Pier. I was hoping to catch the lightning display due West, directly down the centre of the pier, but the storm had shifted by the time I arrived. It was hard to pick a bad spot to set up for a photo.
I've never taken photos of lightning before, so there was plenty of trial and error while I dialled in my settings. There were many shots of nothing, but I got some spectacular shots like this one. Really happy for my first attempt.
After a walk around the cloud shrouded fells around Wasdale Head, I found myself taking a short break here by Ritson Force. The water levels in the Mosedale Beck were actually a lot lower than I had expected, so the flow of the waterfall wasn't that strong.
It is still a great little spot to take a snack and a rest after the rigours of the fells. The water was a lovely clear green/blue colour and the only company I had was a small lively "Dipper" combing the rocks and shallows looking for its own snack.
There are two sets of waterfalls here, this is the lower one, which is more accessible than the narrower upper falls.
Taken after a seemingly never ending drive, bit later than we'd have liked so sadly the light was going, but the colour was there, but the camera didn't seem to pick it up very well and I've really struggled making it look as close to life as possible, but I'm mostly happy with the result. Would have been nice not to have to use ISO1250 though
