Gullfoss Waterfall is in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.
We arrived early in the morning and had the entire place to ourselves and it was stunning. The wind was really strong and with the spray of the water I found it quite hard to get a photograph without water drops filling the lens.
I would love to visit this place again during the winter.
La cascada de oro. Forma parte de la bonita excursión del Círculo Dorado. Es una de las más famosas y más visitadas de Islandia y estuvo a punto se quedar sumergida en un pantano.

There have been many times on my workshop these past couple of years where I have been rendered almost speechless and witnessing Gullfoss in full flow pre-dawn in the dark is one of them.
This shot was taken October 2017 during a beautiful morning. One of the main advantages in visiting Iceland in the autumn (by far my most favourite time of the year) is that the lower path down to this viewpoint is open and accessible because in the winter, with the snow and slippery ice, the authorities close it off relegating you to having to shoot from the top cliff which to my mind is not nearly as enjoyable.
The sheer power of this waterfall has you feel incredibly small and insignificant. The challenge for me and my clients was to capture this amazing location at its best.

This is Gullfoss Waterfall in Iceland one of the most attractive areas for tourists. I have uploaded a black and white version, because the haze of the waterfall is better visible.
Gullfoss ("Golden Falls" in Icelandic) is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. It has two drops with the total height of 32 metres.
Gullfoss, la cascada dorada una de las cataratas más bonita de Islandia. Por su infinita belleza y por localizarse cerca de Reykjavík es la cascada más visitada por los turistas que deciden viajar a Islandia.
A principios del siglo XX el gobierno quiso vender la cascada Gullfoss para montar una central hidroeléctrica? Afortunadamente para la humanidad una joven granjera llamada Sigríður Tómasdóttir amenazó con tirarse a Gullfoss si la cascada era vendida. Gracias a su empeño, coraje y valor, el gobierno olvidó la idea y hoy día todos podemos disfrutar de uno de los mayores tesoros naturales de Islandia, Europa y del mundo.

Gullfoss waterfall - Iceland 20210714
Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. Together with Þingvellir and Geysir, Gullfoss forms the Golden Circle, a popular day tour for tourists in Iceland. Gullfoss means “the golden fall”.
Gullfoss is a wide waterfall in the river Hvítá with a total height of 32 meters. 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 (11 m and 21 m) into a crevice 32 m deep. The crevice, about 20 meters 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 m³/s in the summertime and 80 m³/s in the wintertime. The highest flood measured was 2000 m³/s

Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. Together with Þingvellir and the geysers of Haukadalur, Gullfoss forms part of the Golden Circle, a popular day excursion for tourists in Iceland. Gullfoss is on the Hvítá River as it flows southward, 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.
Over looking the Gullfoss Falls where it empties into a deep and narrow ravine in early January 2011.
The view from up above the falls had less frosty mist attaching to the lens of the camera. But you can still see some of the mist rising up in middle left where the people are and in other areas around around the falls below.
It was still pretty dark out and the sun was really just breaking through the mist as we headed back up from the falls. The walk up to this over look was slow going and icy by the time we got to this point the sun was a bit higher and we had more light.
As usual the wind never stopped blowing.
I have posted other photos from this morning's shoot down on the falls. If you care to have a look they can be seen here.

Some fireworks for the new year...! Iceland's golden waterfall Gullfoss turned green by a large corona. I would have liked to have something in the frame for a sense of scale... this waterfall is massive! But the area was slippery and paths along the waterfall were closed. You don't want to ignore closures and signs anywhere, but maybe especially not in Iceland. ;-)
Two exposures combined.
Happy 2017!
