Geysir Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Strokkur is located in the Haukadalur valley, Iceland; its one of Iceland's largest geysers which is only a few meters away from Geysir (the oldest known geyser). Unlike Geysir, an idle geyser which has an infrequent performance record & may be dormant for years at a time, Strokkur is very reliable & one can see it in action every 5-10 minutes, hurling boiling water to heights of up to 20 metres (70ft) towards the sky.

Hi Albert
Brilliant shot. The sky in your country is definitively incredible.
However the clouds at the top-left corner is a bit burned...
Bravo

Wow, the light looks tough, but you've managed to make a great capture here. the power of the water really comes through, and the clouds are amazing, providing impressive scale when contrasted with the onlookers. Great shot!
