Waterfalls at Midnight

    I had done a little research about the southern part of Iceland before my trip, but I left enough gaps to be surprised.

    On this particular night, it was about 65 degrees (18 C), so it was just a tad perfect. The air was wet with moisture from an evening rainstorm, and it was held aloft by the strange weather patterns. When I first saw this waterfall, it was around midnight. By the time I got into this position, it was about 1 AM or so.

    Once again, I had not seen another human for hours. It was so eerie walking around these amazing places alone. Typically, with something so grandiose, you sort of expect a bunch of tourists to be lurking about. So, alone, it all feels a bit post-apocalyptic. But thanks to a ton of video games, I'm well versed with how to survive in these situations.

      for hours? You know for a fact if this was anywhere in the US, we'd have a welcome center, parking lot, 5star lodging all withing walking distance of this point. Awesome shots though. Love the natural look to it.

      I'm usually not a fan of the "whispering waters" image but I'll make an exception with this one. It is so darn near perfect I think the only excuse one could give for not enjoying the image is because one is blind.

      Yeah, now that's the time of day to shoot. I love the colours you can get out at night. Just a little etheral, enough to confound the eye. Great spot.
