Hrafnabjargafoss foss Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hrafnabjargafoss located between Aldeyarfoss and Godafoss.

It is located on the river Skjalfandafljot, one of the discharges of the vast icecap Vatnajokull.

It is quite an amazing foss (waterfall) which tumbles down through balsalt lava formations. It comes down and goes underground for some distance i.e. you can take the picture while being located in the middle of the flow. Of course if you fell it is the end.

Hello Michel,

The photograph appears to suck you in to its tumbling, waterfall depths! A truly hypnotic, detailed and very well focussed shot!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Michel
That are the surprise that the wonderful icelandic Nature gives us sometimes. Iceland is not the few places we see everywhere, it is a country full of surprises and of contrasts.
This is a good (and beautiful) example

Bonjour Michel,
La puissance des éléments naturels qui se dégagent de cette vue est impressionnante. C'est vraiment grandiose ! Tu as plutôt bien géré le contre-jour. Petite déformation due au grand angle.
Amicalement,
Olivier
