From all the sunrises and sunets we had our week in Iceland, this was the only one without clouds. We enjoyed this moment so much! Especially with all those fall colors.
The Hvítá River plunges into a narrow gorge at the famous Gullfoss Waterfall in southwestern Iceland.
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.

Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland.
Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland.
Hey, how's it going?
Thought I'd share this quick photo I took at Gullfoss in Iceland.
Sonia and I are planning a trip back home to England/Slovakia later this year and hopefully we can squeeze in a quick visit back to Iceland while we're there.
I was so awe-struck the first time and was just enjoying being there so much that I don't feel like I got the most out of it photo-wise.
Next time we will be in full-on shooting mode I think!
Cheers
Golden waterfall
No es una de las maravillas del mundo pero es impresionante. Se llama tambien Cascada de oro y tiene una caida de 190 metros, el agua se pulveriza hasta formar el arco iris.

This beautiful foss is part of another one of those cleverly designed tourist traps; the golden circle.
It is very much worth while having a look, if you have your own transport.
We went to see it on a tour from Reykjavik, but unfortunately you get to spend very little time there before they move on to next site.
Did manage to get this shot though.
Early in the morning before sunrise .If you really want to avoid traffic and even have the entire waterfall by yourself.My 500 link 500px.com/yiannispavlis my facebook www.facebook.com/YiannisPavlis4/ my instagram www.instagram.com/yiannispavlisphoto/

Gullfoss is Iceland's best-known waterfall, and also one of Iceland's greatest natural beauties. The waterfall, which is 32 meters {105 ft.] high, pours down spectacular and rugged canyons which are up to 70 meters deep [300 ft.].
Annually, approximately 100.000 tourists visit the Gullfoss waterfall, as well as the equally spectacular Geysir-hotspring area which is only 14 kilometer (9 miles) from here.

The Icelandic Geysir has given name to all geysers around the world.
PS. Here's a summer version of the Gullfoss waterfall: www.flickr.com/photos/coldpix/9888108354/stats/2014-03-04/
I went on a photography tour in southern Iceland in October but before the tour started, my friends and I drove around the Golden Circle for a day. It was very busy as you can see with the stream of people but the autumn colours were stunning.
Gullfoss means Gold waterfalls, due to the wonderful warm water reflexes. During a freezy day the appearence was a bit different by the iconic dream, but definitely fascinating.
Viendo al hombre que está en la parte superior izquierda nos hacemos la idea de esta barbaridad de cascada.
Gullfoss, Iceland. We got very lucky on our first morning in Iceland with this ripper sunrise. We got here just in time as a couple of minutes later the colour had disappeared.

Because of the waterfall’s two stages, Gullfoss should actually be thought of as two separate features. The first, shorter cascade is 11 metres (36 feet), whilst the second drop is 21 metres (69 feet). The canyon walls on both sides of the waterfall reach heights of up to 70 metres (230 feet), descending into the great Gullfossgjúfur canyon. Geologists believe that this canyon was formed by glacial outbursts at the beginning of the last age.
In the summer, approximately 140 cubic metres (459 cubic feet) of water surges down the waterfall every second, whilst in winter that number drops to around 109 cubic metres (358 cubic feet). With such energy, visitors should not be surprised to find themselves drenched by the waterfall’s mighty spray.
