Located along Iceland’s southern coast on Route #1, fed by the melting waters from the famed glacier-capped Eyjafjallajokull volcano, flows the breathtakingly beautiful Seljalandsfoss waterfall . This powerful 65 meter (215 feet) high waterfall plummets down into a crystal blue plunge pool then flows out into a pretty meadow. However, the path that runs behind the curtain of water is the main attraction. Here you can enjoy a truly unique viewpoint of the waterfall; however, you will most likely get a little wet due to the perpetual mist and spray of the falls.
Located near the eastern shore of Lake Myvatn in North Iceland stands Hverfjall, an impressive 4500 year old tephra explosion crater, measuring 396 meter (1,300 ft) high and 1 km in diameter. If you walk up the steep slope of this massive black ash cone, you are rewarded with an incredible view of the crater as well as the surrounding landscape. To provide a little perspective of the size, those tiny specs on the top right side are groups of people walking around the crater's rim. There are also people on the opposite side, but they are too small to see without enlarging the image.
On the night of the Harvest Moon of the Autumnal Equinox I captured this image of the midnight blue sky set against a series of tall pine trees. On this eve, the moon served at a wonderful backlight to set the scene.
