Islanda- Gullfoss (dall'islandese: gull "dorato" e foss "cascata") è una delle più note cascate dell'Islanda sud-occidentale, lungo il percorso del fiume Hvítá nel Haukadalur. La portata media è di circa 140 m³/s in estate e 80 m³/s in inverno. Le acque tumultuose del fiume Hvítá compiono due salti di 11m e 21m di altezza, con orientazione relativa di circa 45°, e proseguono in una stretta e profonda gola che si apre nell'altipiano. Gullfoss, soprannominata spesso "la regina di tutte le cascate islandesi" per la teatralità, la bellezza e i giochi di luce del suo doppio salto, è situata relativamente vicino alla capitale Reykjavík (120 km circa) e fa parte assieme al Þingvellir e i vicini geyser (Geysir e Strokkur) al cosiddetto Golden Circle (Circolo d'Oro), ovvero l'insieme di attrazioni naturalistiche più note e visitate d'Islanda. Grazie ad una rete di sentieri la cascata è raggiungibile con la massima sicurezza nella parte superiore e in quella frontale. All'inizio del XX secolo una società inglese era intenzionata all'acquisto della cascata per costruirvi una diga per alimentare una centrale idroelettrica. Una contadina del posto (Sigríður Tómasdóttir) della fattoria Brattholt, alla quale apparteneva la cascata, si oppose con successo a tale operazione industriale (a tale causa lavorò l'allora giovane avvocato e poi primo presidente della repubblica Sveinn Björnsson). Infatti ella minacciò di buttarsi nella cascata nel caso il governo islandese approvasse il progetto della diga. In realtà la causa fu vinta dalla società inglese, ma la diga non venne mai costruita per rinuncia da parte della società stessa. Nelle vicinanze della cascata è stato costruito un monumento per ricordo della coraggiosa contadina.Dati Wikipedia #Acqua #Cascate #Rocce

The effect that the chasm of the falls gives the observer is to a wonder that intimidates and unquenched curiosity to see the bottom.
Thanks Mark, for your passage.
Hello, Gabriel. :-P

Glimpse of great beauty and energy
I think these should be photographed waterfalls, contrary to the current trend, with fast enough to stop the whirling water movement, a movement that otherwise would send the energy of which you speak, acquiring other hand only a romantic aspect. ;-)
Thanks again Claudio.
Hello, Gabriel. :-P

Iceland's beauty is beyond question ... the waterfalls are photographed, in my opinion, with a short time, because the water has to show his impetuosity and his swirls ... yarns, so fashionable now, are used to to romance, but it is not the case of using them for these violent and aggressive waterfalls.
Thank you for appreciation.
Hello, Gabriel. :-P
