La cascata islandese Skógafoss è situata nel sud dell'isola presso la località Skógar, è originata dal fiume Skógaá, proveniente dal ghiacciaio Eyjafjallajökull su un salto che in altri tempi era una scogliera; oggi invece il mare dista diverse decine di km. Contende a Gullfoss (la cascata d'oro) il titolo di cascata più fotogenica d'Islanda anche per la facilità impressionante con cui il sole, colpendo le gocce d'acqua sollevate dalla caduta, dà origine a splendidi arcobaleni. È larga 25 metri e cade per 60 metri. A destra del salto si inerpica una scalinata di circa 700 gradini che porta al culmine della cascata e a pochi passi dall'inizio del salto. Secondo una leggenda, il primo vichingo ad essersi stabilito nella zona, Þrasi Þórólfsson, nascose un tesoro, un forziere ricolmo di monete d'oro, nella caverna dietro la cascata. Quando il sole colpisce coi suoi raggi l'acqua, c'è chi dice abbia visto il riflesso dorato delle monete. In molti hanno cercato il tesoro, un ragazzo ebbe successo, trovò il forziere e, attaccando una corda ad uno degli anelli laterali, iniziò a tirare, ma l'anello si ruppe e il forziere affondò. L'anello d'argento con incisioni runiche fu in seguito usato come maniglia del portale della chiesa di Skógar e può essere oggi ammirato al museo. Alla grandiosa Skógafoss, depositaria del segreto di Þrasi, è attribuito anche un potere magico: si dice che chiunque si bagni nelle sue acque possa ritrovare un oggetto perduto e a lungo cercato. ___________________________________ Cito Wikipedia per dare una descrizione adeguata e rispettosa di questa meraviglia della natura, bella anche la leggenda della quale l'Islanda è ricca in ogni dove. Impossibile fare una classifica delle bellezze di questo Paese magnifico, ma sicuramente questo angolo è tra i più spettacolari. Merita quindi una seconda foto... sempre in bianco nero che spero vi piaccia. Impossibile fare foto da vicino perché le gocce d'acqua arrivano a molta distanza. Commenti, critiche e consigli sempre super graditi.

Hello Maximus! I read carefully the description you have shown below your photo! Interesting legend related to this spectacular place! Have you had trouble shooting without framing someone else on the spot? I often see this crowded place! There are obviously ploys to make people disappear, but to be confronted in a moment of isolation is priceless I think!

hello GS
actually there is always a lot of people.. but there are few crazy people who come very close because the water with the wind comes very far.. the difficulty of course is to be able to make a few shots quickly without getting wet the lens.. in fact I have a myriad of stained photos.. here I did not make great interventions, on the contrary, I found a good time with people who had retired :-D
thanks for the visit, your photos are magnificent! :-)
ps: this place is a knockout... really exciting.
