Never experienced weather like this - 35mph with gusts. The power of the wind is lifting the water from the waterfall. Incredibly difficult to stand, let along capture an image.
Gullfoss (Golden Falls) is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest 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. T
he 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 or "golden falls". Near Reykjavik, on the Golden Circle, it may be Iceland's best-known natural wonder. River Hvítá.
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.(Wikipedia)
Gullfoss is one of the most spectacular and easy to access Iceland's waterfalls. It has many potential capture perspectives however you have to balance the dramatic images possible with closer viewpoints against the constant challenge of spray which constantly fogs the lens. This shot is somewhat of a compromise but still, I believe conveys the vastness and power of Gullfoss.

The entirety of the River Ölfusá crashes into a narrow crevice and abruptly changes course, forming the spectacle of Gullfoss, in Southwest Iceland. The name means "Golden Falls" in English, and perhaps there's a legend of treasure hidden behind the violent curtain, though I seem to recall several such stories associated with more than one waterfall in this land of rushing torrents and Viking lore.
A hundred or so years ago, speculative foreign hydroelectric interests set their sights on Gullfoss as a potential source of energy to be exploited. However, the locals did not like this idea, and fought for the permanent protection of the falls. It now belongs to the people, and if the crowds when we visited were anything to go by, it belongs mostly to tour bus operators. You can see why.
In this environment, one had to compose quickly, as the air was filled with water droplets. Happy Holidays to everyone, and may you be fortunate enough to enjoy the company of your close relatives!
Dawn at Gullfoss, Iceland, before the hordes arrived. Before anyone arrived, apart from us.

La bonita y fotogénica cascada de Gullfoss, en el rio Hvita - parte del Circulo Dorado - A unos 129 km de Reikiavik - Islandia - agosto 2023
Gullfoss, o la cascada dorada en islandés, es uno de los saltos de agua más impresionantes de Europa, tanto pos sus increíbles dimensiones, como por las cantidades ingentes de agua que lleva su caudal.
No obstante, Gullfoss, no es ni la más grande, ni la más hermosa de las cascadas que hay en Islandia, aunque al estar tan cerquita de Reykjavík hace que sea la más famosa del país y, por supuesto, la más visitada. (www.diariodelviajero.com)
