A bonsai like tree somehow survives the harsh desert environment. It amazes me to see some trees and bushes literally growing on rocks, with minimal soil and water to survive.
Shot in a cold overcast late November, with a 24mm at f1.4, so the blur is straight out of the camera. Only if I could afford that lens… thanks for stopping by!

Goðafoss is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. It is located in the Mývatn district of North-Central Iceland at the beginning (or end) of the Sprengisandur route that cuts through the country. The water of the river Skjalfandafljot falls over a width of 30 meters 12 meters, and Goðafoss divides it by rocks in a few pieces. A few kilometers upstream is the Aldeyjarfoss.

With a great idea of my friend we visited this waterfall in the evening. The road was closed down by Jeeps, but we were the last ones getting a glimp of the waterfall before the roads closed till the other day. Happily I got this shot before we moved to the next hotel!

For this shot we moved to the other side of the waterfall to get a greater angle. With the use of my LEE Little stopper i managed to smoothen out the water with a shutter speed of 15 second. Editing exclusively in Lightroom.

even with chest high waders, could not go in closer or even pull some ice closer to the shore… too much of a risk this time.

Another picture of the Castle Eggersberg. This time from so called Old-Eggersberg, which are just some ruins. Quite nice though as they are located right at the border of a cliff overlooking a lovely landscape.
