Gullfoss - Iceland

This two level waterfall is the largest in Europe. From this vantage point, you get a good look at the water falling through each level. Once upon a time, people wanted to harness electricity from the waterfall, which would have destroyed it. Fortunately, that didn't happen, and the area is now a protected site. This is a closeup of an adjacent photo. More info at gullfoss.is

 

You can't see it in the photo, but the temperature was just about freezing and the wind was very strong. Even with my warm Icelandic hat and gloves, it's been a long time since I felt that cold.
