Urriðafoss

These falls in the river Þjórsá have the highest average flow rate (360 m³/s) of any waterfall in Iceland. Sadly its days might be numbered because there are plans for a dam and power station.

kann man sich gar nicht vorstellen, wie der Mensch in die Natur eingreifen kann. Das ist ja mal nicht in 5 Tagen getan, das so ein Staudamm fertig ist

Wow! Such a breathtakingly beautiful and powerful looking waterfall..!!

You've captured the movement and power of the water perfectly Gudrun. The light is lovely and the mist from the falls adds some great atmosphere. I love those huge chunks of ice too.

Excellent work ⭐️

That looks like an incredible place my friend. You have taken this at a top edge so the noise and sight must have been spectacular to say the least. Very well done.

I must say it is nice to see your wonderful Scandinavian captures again after an absence.

Best Wishes. Herb
