In Summer And In Winter
Lovely Skógafoss - the "Forest Waterfall" - in southern #Iceland imaged in August and in March.
Situated alongside the main Route 1 ring road, this 69 m/226 ft vertical curtain falls is extremely popular with visitors.
Long ago, this cascade dropped straight into the sea. Just pause and imagine that for a moment.
Now, the alluvium has created a fertile plain 5 km/3.1 mi wide that stretches to the black beaches.
Another colour photo of the same cascade, this time in deep winter. The foreground is now blackened shrubs and brown vegetation, and the cliff face is dark rock. The upper slopes are coated with large patches of snow. The falls is diminished in volume, and the lovely heart-shaped cleft it has eroded in the rockface is shadowed and foreboding. There are still people visible on the path to the top.
A colour photo of a waterfall surrounded by greenery. The foreground is brush and shrubs. The cliff face with the falls dropping within it is clothed in green with a zigzag path climbing the right side all the way to the crest line. A few people are just visible at the top, and there are sheep dotted around the steep meadows. The cascade is wide and white, dropping straight down to a spray-obscured base.
