Svartifoss - the "Black Waterfall" - is so named because of the black basalt columns that flank the picturesque foss. Again, a popular tourist spot, it's not worth photographing during the day due to harsh overhead light and tourists who like to clamber behind the waterfall. It's only forty minutes walk from the campsite however, so I made the trip back once the light started getting darker. I had the whole place to myself and was able to spend a couple of gradually darker hours taking photos and finding the right compositions. I liked this one the most of all due to the curving lines leading in from both sides, the sweep of the columns matched by the upwards curve of the rocks towards the bottom of the falls. Again, a must see, but only at the right time!
