Photographer’s Note
Gullfoss -“The Golden Falls” is one of Europe’s most powerful waterfalls. On a sunlit day, the mist clouds surrounding the hammering falls are filled with dozens of rainbows, providing an unparalleled spectacle of color and motion.
At one time the government planned to supplant the falls with a large hydroelectric powerplant, but a nearby farmer’s daughter underwent a pilgrimage on foot to Reykjavik, where she demanded that unless the plant was stopped, she would cast herself over the falls. After the nation overwhelmingly came out in her favor, plans were halted and the government purchased the land for a national park.

Bonjour Soni,
ces chutes qui restent impressionnantes, on se sent tout petit à côté. Excellente idée d'inclure ces personnages bien chanceux et la présence de cet arc-en-ciel est un réel plus.
Best regards.
Daniel.
