One Waterfall, Two Years
We first visited the western bank of lovely Goðafoss¹ in 2014. When we next returned in 2016, a new viewing platform had been built on the eastern side.
At this point, the water of the river Skjálfandafljót² falls from a height of 12m (40ft) over a width of 30m (98ft.)
a) The main falls from the east
b) From the west
c) The crest from the east
d) Geitafoss, the lower falls

A distance shot of the main waterfall, showing its downstream companion. A chute of white water is plunging through a narrow slot with quite high walls on either side. The rock is sunlit from the left and is a pale brown except where wet, when it's darker. A layer of rubble is lying along the banks of the river.
A photo of the top of the falls where the crest of the falls is dropping away to the left. The waterfall itself is barely visible due to the amount of spray and mist in the air. Sunlight is coming from the left, making the rocks look dark and silhouetted.
Another shot of the same cascade, this time from the opposite side. The sky is clearer this time and sunlight is striking the face on the right side of the drop. The foreground is greener scrub with some yellowing, and there's a fence along the edge of the falls.
A colour photo of a waterfall, split into at least five distinct drops. The water is white as it descends before forming a turquoise pool. The rocks around it are dark brown and jagged. The sky is overcast.
