A slow exposure, landscape image of Gullfoss, in Iceland's Golden Circle, on a very wet day.
I was never really happy with this image. I wanted to use a slower shutter speed or do a bracket exposure but it was raining heavily and the spray coming up from the falls made it just too difficult to keep water of the glass. I guess I will just have to go back! :-)
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!

Gullfoss, Iceland
Man oh man. This was such a beautiful waterfall and so full of raw power. I was eventually one of those folks who walked up the icy path to get up close and personal with the majestic cascades. I feel the snow really helped the blues of both sky and water really pop out. I hope to one day see these falls (and many others) again one day in the summer time with lush greens in the landscape.
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.

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.

Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland and part of the Golden Circle. Many people consider the waterfall one of the most beautiful in Iceland. The water cascades down in two stages, one 11 m (36 ft) high, and the other 21 m (69 ft), into the 2,5 km (1.6 mi) long crevasse below. Catastrophic flood waves created this crevasse at the end of the Ice Age. Constant water erosion lengthens it by 25 cm (9.8 in) a year.
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.
Gullfoss is one of Iceland's most popular waterfalls. It's located in the canyon of the Olfusa river. It falls 32 meters in two drops, the longest drop is 21 meters, it's certainly an impressive sight.
Gullfoss es una de las atracciones más populares del país. Se encuentra en el amplio cauce del río Hvítá, que fluye hacia el sur y a un kilómetro de la cascada gira bruscamente hacia el este cayendo en tres escalones curvados. En ese momento se cae en dos saltos (de 11 y de 21 metros) en una grieta de 32 metros de profundidad, que mide unos 20 metros de ancho y 2,5 kilómetros de largo. El caudal medio en esta catarata es de 140 metros cúbicos por segundo en verano y 80 en invierno. El máximo flujo de agua medido es de 2.000 metros cúbicos.

This is the famous Gullfoss that you see on the Golden Circle tour in Iceland. The 'Gull' part of the name is approximately pronounced like 'gult' in English (but further back in the mouth and with a hiss of air a bit like 'll' in Welsh). The thing is that this reveals the connection with 'gilt' or 'golden' in English. 'Foss' is waterfall in English, so what we have here is 'The Golden Waterfall'. The golden idea may be because of colours in the spray or perhaps reflections of the setting sun on the water surface. The river is the Hvítá, or White River, probably so named because of the rock flour which turns the water milky - the river drains the icecap Langjökull (sort of pronounced Lang-jurkult, but with that small explosion of air on the 'lt' at the end). The contrasting angles of the two stages of the waterfall reflect widespread fault directions in Iceland, the result of its particular tectonic history.

I had the perfect day for visiting this beautiful waterfall, and the rainbow made it perfect!
Lots of rain + wind... and water spray from Gullfoss (Puh..)
Gullfoss is the waterfall of the river Hvítá in the south of Iceland.
It consists of two steps, 11m and 21m high.
From the second step, the water plunges into a gorge.
2.5 km long from the waterfall to the widening to the valley, depth 70 m.
