text: Skógafoss, is situated in the south of Iceland at the cliffs of the former coastline. The coastline has receded into the sea (it is now about 5 km from Skógar). The stunningly majestic cliffs lie parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers, creating together with some mountains a clear border between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland. Skógafoss is one of the biggest and most beautiful waterfalls of the country with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. Not whilst I was there mind! According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. A local boy found the chest years later, but was only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again......I never found it, but got some great images :) Olympus E3, 12-60mm
