Kirkjufellsfoss - lower stage

The lower stage of Kirkjufellsfoss isn't as popular photography spot as the upper stage is, but it is also very well worth exploration!

After having visited 30+ waterfalls, the Kirkjufellfoss in Grundarfjörður is my favorite. Not as huge as the Skogafoss in South Iceland, this is beautiful with Kirkjufell in the background. I need to visit this spot again to shoot the Aurora Borealis!!!

If you like these kind of landscapes, Iceland is your next destination. This country is absolutely fantastic for photographers.

While most of people focused on the upper part of Kirkjufellfoss to include the iconic Mount Kirkjufell, some photographers targeted the lower part of the waterfall, which rendered a different prospective.

An alternative view of the fantastic Icelandic falls at Kirkjufell, Kirkjufellsfoss. After getting the shot with the classic conical shaped mountain in I wanted to include the snowy rugged tops of the mountains to the rear, yet to receive their first proper coating of snow of the Winter they appear to be have been lightly dusted over with 'icing sugar', a sure sign of things to come in a matter of weeks.....

We visited here quite late in the afternoon and were quite lucky with there being hardly anyone about at all which was great as you could really take your time without worrying about people in the way and also spend that little more time taking in the stunning scenery, much more enjoyable when there's not hoards of tourists (who you are seemingly invisible to).

With the rain closing in yet again on this day it was good to get some shots in the bag of this location I had wanted to visit for a long time, and want to go back to, the only sound was the falls rushing over the rocks and the click of the shutter, how I like it.

The waterfall sits below Kirkjufell mountain and is one of the most photographed spots in Iceland.
