Iceland, Day 6 — wk 39

Heading out from Vik, I made my way towards Laugarvatn. At Skogafoss, I made a repeated stop to make some photographs of the falls. This time, half way up.

After checking into the hostel, I made my way to Gullfoss. These are really amazing multi tiered waterfalls that appear to disappear into a canyon!

The lower falls take a massive tumble down into the gorge below, releasing a huge cloud of water vapor and spray.

Light was falling rapidly and dinner was calling. On the way back to the hostel, after passing through Geysir, the setting rays of the sun grazed the distant hills. I managed this one image of farm buildings in front of the distant hills.

The setting sun was magical. Reflection off the low clouds, the sun gave a magenta sheen to the wet road surface.

That really made my day!
