Description
Svartifoss (Black Fall in icelandic) is a waterfall in Skaftafell National Park in Iceland, and is one of the most popular sights in the park. It is surrounded by dark lava columns, which give rise to its name. The hexagonal columns were formed inside a lava flow which cooled extremely slowly, giving rise to crystallization. Similar well-known lava formations are seen at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, and on the island of Staffa in Scotland.
This photo was taken on my fourth visit to Iceland, on a dark and rainy day, but the magic of the place was still there ! Please zoom !
Thank you very much for making time to comment on my latest Swiss pic, I appreciate...

Intéressant endroit pour une photo! Fantastique shot, J-Luc :)
Woonderful picture.
Je vois que tu maitrises à la perfection le D80 et le super Nikkor 105 mm (j'ai le même matériel): une vitesse suffisamment lente pour donner cette impression figée et suffisamment rapide pour garder l'image du mouvement... Vraiment parfait ! :~)
Great photography of the water fall.
Le genre de photo qui fait rêver...
That's a great capture. The slow shutter speed really gives a dramatic effect and the rich wet colors are gorgeous. I also love the way you have matted this image, their is great color balance and the subtle texture is appealing.
