Gljúfrabúi

Gljúfrabúi, the hidden waterfall, lies at the foot of Eyjafjallajökull volcano and is part of Katla Geopark. It is just 600m from much better known Seljalandsfoss and much less crowded. To get to the waterfall you either have to wade the stream or balance on wet rocks and once you are in front of the falls you get a full shower - I stayed outside;-)

See note for context.

Such a beautiful waterfall...........and I love the way you've photographed it looking through the gap in the rocks. You've captured the movement of the water perfectly.

The PiP is outstanding....the towering cliffs are magnificent and I like the earthy colours and textures.

Having people in both shots for scale was a great idea..!!
