This is not the biggest nor the most powerfull waterfall in Iceland, but I think it's the most amazing of them all. From the parking lot it seems like a normal waterfall running down the side of a mountain, but when you get closer you notice there is a path leading from the side that let's you walk completely around the back of the waterfall in this huge cave-like formation! Only when you walk behind the waterfall can you truly feel how magnificent it is. It's not easy to take photos in the cave because the wind keeps throwing water in your face (and lens) almost all the time.
To put the waterfall in scale, there are four people in the photo, can you spot them all? =)

I Hope you like it!


#Taken with Samyang 14mm lens, I'll have to fix the EXIF later.. =/

Thats one of the most interesting perspectives for a photo of the Seljalandfoss I've ever seen I have to say. Really linking it! You should have made some photos when the sunset kicked in, that would be awesome dude! (also + longer exposure could look sick here). Will try this out in the summer when im in Iceland again :D

Thanks very much! I also have a wide panorama taken from the middle of the cavern which I might upload some time later. Sunset would really have been interesting to shoot there but unfortunately our schedule was too tight =/

There are a lot of wide panorama pictures of that spot (which all look amazing most times) but your perspectiv is really interesting because I've never seen it this way =)

Also I had the same problem with time, it just sucks :D

I was there last year and agree that it is a great experience.
You have captured the waterfall and the atmosphere beautifully.
