Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. The wide Hvítá rushes southward. About a kilometer above the falls it turns sharply to the right and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages into a crevice 32 m deep. The crevice, about 20 m wide, and 2.5 km in length, extends perpendicular to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running over this waterfall is 140 m³s in the wintertime. The highest flood measured was 2000 m³/s.
Gullfoss is a massive waterfalls in the “Golden Circle” east of Reykjavik. The day we were there, it seemed that every thing was frozen. The flow was very small. The lower level where you can get closer to the waterfalls was close due to icy stairs. Later on, we saw something quite rare, at least for us, the moon at the East and the Sun at the West above the horizon…it was pretty cool to see. I got to tried my in camera double exposure where I shot the moon with my longest zoom and then the waterfall at the widest end. Near by is Strokkur is where you can see Geysir, a medium size geyser that would explode every 8 to 12 minutes and sometimes a double explosion a big one followed by a smaller one. .

Photos never do the scale of Gullfoss justice, but to give an idea, look at the size of some of the people walking down the path.
The sun broke through the snow showers for a fleeting few minutes. Gullfoss is one of the stops on Iceland's Golden Circle. Stunning whatever the weather!
The Gullfoss waterfall is one of the most popular places to visit due to it's easy access from the parking area and close proximity to Reykjavik.

Rainbow over Gullfoss. I spent 4 years in Iceland, and this is the only time I caught a rainbow (June 1984). Shot on Fuji film, with my trusty Nikon FE.
A particularly dull cloudy day at the Gullfoss Falls in Iceland but that cannot detract from what was an amazing location!
Returning to Iceland. I was lucky enough to have Gullfoss to myself as the Sun made it above the horizon, but it would have been good to have had a single figure by the falls for scale - a bit too far away for me to reach in 10 seconds. The upper falls are about 10m high while the drop into the gorge is about 20m, about 100 cubic metres of water go over every second!
Powerful Gullfoss is one of the most popular destinations on Iceland. I had an easy time understanding why. This place is incredibly beautiful!
The Gullfoss („Golden Falls“) is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country of Iceland.
Brute and stunning is the feeling that you get when thousands of liters of water are falling in the chasm. The roaring of mother nature is absolut and beautiful to watch. It’s a location where movie scenes have been shot! Pristine and unspoiled nature at it’s best!

Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. The wide Hvítá rushes southward, and about a kilometre above the falls it turns sharply to the right and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 metres or 36 feet, and 21 metres or 69 feet) into a crevice 32 metres (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20 metres (66 ft) wide and 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) in length, extends perpendicular to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running down the waterfall is 140 cubic metres (4,900 cu ft) per second in the summer and 80 cubic metres (2,800 cu ft) per second in the winter. The highest flood measured was 2,000 cubic metres (71,000 cu ft) per second.(Wikipedia)

Gullfoss (la « chute d'or ») est une succession de deux chutes d’eau d’Islande situées sur la rivière Hvítá. Son nom provient de l'arc-en-ciel que l'on peut souvent voir au-dessus. (source Wikipedia) (pas sur cette photo, le soleil était... comment dire... un peu timide)
Mais le plus important c'est que l'endroit est absolument impressionnant et magnifique, par sa grandeur mais aussi par le paysage désolé qui l'entoure, les pierres et les mousses, la texture de cette eau tumultueuse...

Gullfoss (English: Golden Falls) is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. (source Wikipedia)
Its name comes from the fact there is very often a rainbow over it. (but when i was there the sun was a bit shy... as you can see)
But the most important thing is that this place is so wonderful ! Because of its greatness but also because of the desolate landscape all around, the rocks and mosses and the texture of this turbulent water...
Gullfoss, the "Golden Falls" of Iceland, as seen on our family vacation in August, with a partial band of a rainbow in the mist being thrown up from the falls. Like Kirkjufell, this is an incredibly busy tourist site, especially in August, and I didn't spend a lot of time looking for novel framing here (I was mostly trying to keep my lens dry–this one throws up an enormous amount of mist.)
