Glacial River Canyon

Jökulsárgljúfur¹, the eponymous gorge in north-eastern #Iceland contains seven major waterfalls. Here, we stop by three of them.

The first in our photo visit is Hafragilsfoss, the beautiful "Buck Canyon Falls."
The second is Selfoss, a lovely horseshoe hidden in its own mists.
Finally Dettifoss, the "tumbling falls," in my opinion the most impressive waterfall in Iceland.

Another view of the honey-coloured rock walls of the canyon, its basalt teeth very obvious in the strong sunlight from the right. The river is plunging over the lip of a high waterfall, the base - not visible in this shot - is 44 metres or 144 feet below. This photo is taken from height again.

Another canyon with the same large river running through it. The water is tumbling down the rockface between stumps of basalt rock, and churns powerfully as it leaves the base of the drop. A group of five people are standing near the crest. The sky is clear, but pale.

A colour photo of a deep canyon with brown rock walls, viewed from height. The cliffs are basalt teeth, standing vertically. A river is surging through the gorge to a narrow slot above an elevated shelf where the white water is dropping 27 metres or 88.5 feet to the canyon floor.

I tried to resist, but here are some images from the last few years. This is why I hike, this is why I take photographs.

Hello world! Late to the party as usual, just discovered what the fediverse is and I'm a bit bummed I've been missing out on you all for years. Promptly joined mastodon and pixelfed to rectify this mistake. Let's be friends!

Yellowstone National Park last night (View from the Mount Washburn Fire Lookout).

Beautiful colors and panoramic views from the Mount Washburn Fire Lookout camera last night. The foreground shows a section of the trail system used to access the mountain. Lit by the sun, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone cuts through the center of the image. In the distance on the right, the Tetons in Grand Teton National Park can just be seen. Blue sky, an arrangement of clouds, green vegetation, sunlit canyon walls, combine to create a wonderful scene from one of the most spectacular sites in Yellowstone National Park.
