One of the most photographed waterfalls in Iceland must be Gullfoss. I was there for about 30 min and in that time me and my friend estimated that more than 1000 pictures had been taken by the people there. So you can just imagine how many pictures this is a year.
But this day i was a tourist in my own country and had the camera and all just like the rest of them.
Enjoy your weekend my friends :)
Lower tier of Gullfoss (Golden Falls) on the Hvítá River, SW Iceland. Due to its closeness to Reykjavik, it is one of Iceland's most popular falls.
Just above the falls at Gullfoss ("Golden Waterfall"), an iconic waterfall in Iceland on a river fed by Iceland's second largest glacier. The water plummets more than a hundred feet in two stages into a rugged canyon with walls up to 230 feet high.

Gullfoss is one of the most popular waterfall 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". The crevice, about 20 metres wide and 2.5 kilometres in length, extends perpendicular to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running down the waterfall is 140 cubic metres per second in the summer and 80 cubic metres per second in the winter.
As one first approaches the falls, the edge is obscured from view, so that it appears that the river simply vanishes into the earth.
Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country.
Taken 20th of November during our short trip to Iceland. What a beautiful country. No processing done.
黃金瀑布(Gullfoss)又譯為居德瀑布、古佛斯瀑布，發源自冰島西南部的Hvítá白河，是冰島最壯麗、最著名的瀑布之一。
Hvítá白河發源自朗格冰川(Langjökull)；河流跌落32米，歷經兩級階梯，最終匯入峽谷，塑造了黃金瀑布這座壯觀的雙層瀑布。黃金瀑布與辛格維利爾國家公園、蓋歇爾間歇泉地熱區共同組成了冰島最受歡迎的旅行景區——黃金圈。
黃金瀑布分為兩層，我們也可將其視為兩座瀑布。第一層也即較短的一層瀑布高約11米，第二層瀑布高約21米。瀑布兩側的峽谷岩壁聳拔70餘米，一線傾斜後又與開闊的Gullfossgljúfur峽谷相接。據地質學家推算，峽谷的形成歷史可追溯至末次冰期的冰川洪流。

Gullfoss is located in the canyon of Hvítá river which has its origin in the glacier lake Hvítávatn. 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 deep. The crevice, about 20 m wide, and 2.5 km in length, is at right angles to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running over this waterfall is 140 m³/s in the summertime and 80 m³/s in the wintertime.

Der Gullfoss - Wasserfall rauscht über zwei Stufen (11 m und 21 m hoch). Die beiden breiten Kaskaden stehen etwa in einem 90°-Winkel zueinander. Bei Betrachtung der nachfolgenden Schlucht erscheint es verwunderlich, wohin diese riesige Wassermenge verschwindet. Die Schlucht ist vom Wasserfall bis zum breiten Tal 2,5 km lang und erreicht eine Tiefe von 70 Metern.
The crevice, about 20 m (60 ft) wide, and 2.5 km in length, is at right angles to the flow of the river.
As one first approaches the falls, the crevice is obscured from view, so that it appears that a mighty river simply vanishes into the earth.

The waterfall Gullfoss, Golden waterfall, is one of the stops on the so called Golden circuit on Iceland. It is not the highest waterfall but it is easy to get up close and feel the power of the water here. What is shown here is just part of the waterfall. In the lower corner some people for scale.

The weather was dull and overcast, so I went for black and white. See if you can spot the tourists in the photo.
