Seljalandsfoss waterfall, South Iceland. Long exposure self-portrait (I'm the orange spot on the right) taken at 11:30pm on June 19, two days before summer solstice. Though the night was very cloudy and misty, there was still more than enough light to take a photo.

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous and visited waterfalls in Iceland. Dropping about 65 meters from the cliffs, Seljalandsfoss is very unique since you can actually walk behind, on a slippery footpath.
Taking a picture behind the fall is a bit dangerous for the gear as everything is wet within 10 seconds. I preferred not to try...
Seljalandsfoss is situated on the edge of a volcanic cliff which has once been part of the coastline of iceland where the Seljalandsá River runs. Seljalandsfoss measures almost 200ft (60m) tall. This waterfall features a walking trail behind the falls allowing for different viewpoints. Seljalandsfoss is regarded as one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls.
Some lucky timing meant I got to Seljalansfoss just as the sun was going down. The light catches in the waterfall making it glow bright pink for a few moments. I've had to tone down the colours in this photo because nobody would believe the actual colours were real. Breathtakingly beautiful in real life.
Day 2 and stop Number 8 was the very impressive Seljalandsfoss.
The car park was a veritable ice rink to start with and that should have made us don the YakTracks! However, we didn't and so set forth to Gljúfrabúi first. Having spent a good hour there getting pee wet thru we set off back to Seljalandsfoss. It's probably a 15 stroll between the two waterfalls and was a good opportunity to dry off in the wind and late afternoon sunshine.
In favourable conditions you can get behind the waterfall as there is a sizable cave behind it. Although on this occasion the paths were strictly out of bounds due to the ice. Didn't stop us trying tho! This was taken from the left hand side path up to the track behind the cave. There was a flight of ice covered steps that were pretty treacherous to ascend. The view of the waterfall having made it up there tho were magnificent. Dropping nigh on 200ft into the River Seljalands below.
Back to the YakTracks! If ever they were needed it was now! The descent back down the hillside was pretty bonkers! But we made it down fairly unscathed :)
Having reached the bottom and heading back to the car made us realise just how commercialised Iceland is. Being within a 2hr bus journey of Reykjavik it's a prime location for the tours! There were stilettos, Nike's and even a flip flop wearer heading back up the path! and we were worried about our YakTracks!!!
Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland. Located less than 2 hours drive from Reykjavik, this 65-meters-high and beautiful waterfall is a must visit.
One can view waterfall from the front but best views can be seen when you take a slippery path leading behind the waterfall.

It's been a while since I've posted to Flickr, so I thought I might try giving it another go. I suppose that I burned out on Flickr a couple of years back, but maybe a few images now and then is a good thing.
Enjoy this image of Seljalandsfoss, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in all of Iceland!
Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall drops 60 m (197 ft) and is part of the Seljalands River that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. Visitors can walk behind the falls into a small cave. (wiki)
This is the fairytale Seljalandsfoss waterfall, in Southern Iceland.
I was so lucky that the sun found a gap in the cloud just before it dipped below the horizon. It lit the water as pink as the clouds, and illuminated most of the cave behind too. This light lasted for 3-4 minutes, and it's amazing to compare the photos I took before (which I was happy with at the time) to this one; the pick of the sunset ones.
I found this RAW file very difficult to process, as there's so much going on, and the colours captured just don't seem real - even though I I'd seen them with my own eyes. If anything they're a little toned down here, as I'm not a fan of the hyper-real super-saturated landscapes. But I can see me going back to this next year, and having another go. Sometimes the memories of the occasion can cloud my judgement in processing, and I might get a better result once it's less fresh in my mind.
Seljalandsfoss is a famous waterfall in Iceland, easily accessed from the Ring Road along the southern coast. Despite a vertical drop of 200 feet, the waterfall is visible from all sides, including a trail behind the falls. Seljalandsfoss was featured in the first leg of The Amazing Race 6.
