Selfoss Waterfall twilight Iceland

Yet another Icelandic waterfall, Selfoss is about 1km upriver from the massive Dettifoss on the Ölfusá river, in the North East of Iceland.  From Dettifoss (previous Blog Post), I ran all the way trying to get a shot with some of that great colour still in the sky…  Just made it.   The landscape around these two waterfalls is almost how I imagine the moon to be, but with water, or rather as if a glacier had just passed through here.  There are no trees and almost no vegetation at all in this region, just miles and miles of volcanic rock and boulders.  The only greenery around is the ubiquitous Icelandic moss, that grows over the lava fields softening the landscape.  It’s a place where you can really imagine yourself a million years in the past just after an Ice age, or in fact in the middle of one.


This Image of Selfoss in Iceland was shot on the Hasselblad H4D-60 with the 50mm f3.5 lens.
