Goðafoss

Godafoss as seen from East. Not that much typical view of the waterfall, but I like the river structure in the foreground.

Cascata degli Dei

Goðafoss "waterfall of the gods". According to a modern myth, in year 1000 all idols where thrown in the waterfall... Christianity was born as official icelandic religion. Pic captured 1015 years later...

This is one of the iconic waterfalls in Iceland, Godafoss, located in the far north of the island. We visited it in our recent trip and slept in the area in order to try some shots in the sunset and later in the sunrise. But as usually happens when some place is famous it is not easy to have it completely for yourself, many photographers were trying to do the same in the afternoon. Anyway we had the opportunity to take some nice shots.

The sunset was not splendorous but we had some clouds with interesting orange sun reflections.

I can't imagine what will be to be here in winter, I will add this to my to do list.
