Gullfoss Waterfall

Our first stop on our bus tour was the Gullfoss waterfall and it was pretty impressive! It was also very cold even in the middle (end?) of summer here. Most of the days were in the low 50F or around 10C but at the falls it seemed quite a bit colder. There was a small walk down to the falls and you could walk up right next to the impressive 105 foot or 32 meters drop. There was another path that went to a viewpoint above the falls but we didn't have time for that path.

When you first approach the falls it looks like it is falling into the middle of the earth! We tried to capture the beauty of the falls by camera but it was hard due to the mist generated by the falls. I uploaded a video that might be a better representation of the majesty of Gullfoss.
The top photo is the path walking to Gullfoss and you can see where the falls are by the cloud of mist directly ahead of us. The bottom photo is the path down to the falls where another road is. 

A family photo of us approaching the falls and another one of us right next to the falls. If you look at the man setting up his tripod, his elbow is pointing to the spot where the bottom photo was taken. 
The glorious Gullfoss waterfall.
