The clouds part, over Gullfoss waterfall. Just as the sun began to creep below the horizon.

Photographs from my short trip to Iceland, exploring the world's northernmost capital city of Reykjavik, from the colourful houses and the vibrant old harbour, to the lively Tjornin lake and landmark Hallgrimskirkja church. Venturing beyond the city, we embarked on the Golden Circle tour, stopping at the historic Thingvellir National Park, the geysirs and hot springs at Haukadalu geothermal fields, and one of Iceland's iconic waterfalls, Gullfoss. We finished our trip with a last chance hunt for the Northern Lights during another cloudy night, followed by a relaxing morning in the warm soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon.

Gullfoss (Europe's largest waterfall) in it's winter coat, and the spray cloud catching the sun.
I really wanted to get down to the path below was, but there was a chain across stopping people going down there, no doubt because of the snow and ice. If I'd been on my own, I would have been tempted but as I was there with my wife, thought I'd better not.

Iconic waterfall, Gullfoss after a cold night. Looking across and above the main portion of the falls, obscuring the larger drop. Gulfoss, Iceland Nov 13 12 0230
Gullfoss is the most impressive waterfall in Iceland and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 m and 21 m) into a crevice 32 m (105 ft) deep. Not very much sunshine but a great rainbow.
Mighty and roaring, the waterfall of Gullfoss in Iceland presents itself!
It’s called the "Golden Waterfall" because of the reflection of the golden sunlight shimmering over the water on a sunny day. Even rainbows are not rare at this beautiful natures feature!

Location of Gullfoss waterfall: bit.ly/1qXhtHy
Probably the most visited waterfall in Iceland due to its proximity to the capitol and the many day tours taken along the "Golden Circle".
This shot is pretty murky due to the enormous volume of spray generated by the falls. For a small country, Iceland sure has some mighty rivers.
Gullfoss ("Golden Falls") is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.
The wide Hvítá river flows 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. (wiki)
The path that leads just to the side of the waterfall was closed off, probably too icy and dangerous. This is the classic Godafoss image that I had to add to this series of images.

Gullfoss (English: Golden Falls) is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.
Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Iceland. The wide Hvítá rushes southward. About a kilometer above the falls it turns sharply to the left and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 m and 21 m) into a crevice 32 m (105 ft) deep. The average amount of water running over this waterfall is 140 m³/s in the summertime and 80 m³/s in the wintertime. The highest flood measured was 2000 m³/s.
