Night Time Rainbow at Skógafoss
I’ve often pointed out the eternal rainbow by Skógafoss in countless other pictures. However, this is the first time I see a night time rainbow by it. You can see that this image is taken at night, because it also sports a aurora borealis in the starry sky. I once camped right in front of the waterfall and tried to capture some night photos, but came nothing close to this. Stéphane Vetter however had great success when he traveled to Iceland this October and took many excellent photos such as this one.
He captured the photo with a very long exposure, thus catching the otherwise invisible spectrum of faint aurora and moon light in the waterfall’s spray. One of his other amazing photos is that of the aurora over Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon in Iceland. That photo was actually featured on the Daily Mail.
Skógafoss “tropical forest”

Thank’s for the pic Daniel! Ou talvez melhor dizer obrigado!
Skógafoss really is nicely framed in this pic, making it look like it is in a tropical forest. The actual meaning of Skógafoss is “forest waterfall”, so it is fitting. However there is very little forest around Skógafoss.
As I’ve pointed out before, there is a chronic rainbow in front of Skógafoss. Photo by Sören Lang.

I have been to Skógafoss many times and I have seen countless pictures of it. But this one is in a class of its own. I really like it. The waterfall washed out like that but the rest of the landscape crisp and clear. Great picture. Now let’s go get that chest of gold behind it.

Behind this picturesque waterfall lies a chest full of gold. The chest was placed there by the powerful Þrasi, the first settler of Skógar back in Viking times. Þrasi did not wish for anybody to be able to use his treasure after his death so shortly before he passed away he hid his chest. A descendant of Þrasi and the current farmers grandfather attempted to retrieve the treasure. He swam to the fall, reached deep down and got hold of the handle. Pulling as hard as he could he felt as if something was pulling against him under the surface. Eventually the handle broke of and he swam up to the surface defeated. Today you can find the broken handle at the Skógar museum.
Skógar is only an hour and a half from Reykjavík and on the route to just about anywhere in south Iceland.
