The Waterfall Of The Gods - a photo on Flickriver

            Godafoss is Iceland’s most impressive and beautiful waterfall. Its name is associated with the country’s history. Having been settled on the 9th and 10th centuries, the Norse pagan religion was dominant. With the growth of Christianity throughout Europe, the pressure to abandon Norse increased to the point that Iceland feared an invasion. In 1000 AD it adopted Christianity as the official religion and the decision maker made the symbolic gesture of throwing the pagan idols into the waterfall. Hence its name since then: The Waterfall Of the Gods.
This photo, taken at sunrise, is from my second day photographing Godafoss. The weather on the first day there was pretty bad, thick cloud cover, rainy and windy Returning on the day after proved to be a wise decision, as the place is spectacular and well justified the change in our plans (something that you should be prepared for in Iceland, due to its moody weather conditions...!).
