This is Dettifoss, Europes largest waterfall. It is remotely located in Northern Iceland. As you can see, from the muddy colour, the water comes from a glacier, in this case Vattnaj?kull, also Europes largest.

To give an impression of the majestic size of this fall, you may notice my son and my wife walking around on top of the cliff.

I'd like to know which kind of picture you like best: This kind with a bit of overview (although still taken with a short tele lens) or one like this, taken with a supertelephoto lens which compress the perspective?

Cheers, Jens.

Overview my favorite

Jens, Very well done as always. Both very powerful images giving a feel for the magnitude of the water. I prefer the overview for establishing the setting and also the feeling of scale provided by your family.

NO SUBJECT

Like this total overview.....
How many tons of water come down every minute, they should get a turbine in there and get some energie out of it...
