MJ and I visited this waterfall back during our 2013 Iceland trip as well. From the parking lot to the waterfall, is an incredible long uphill hike. Last time, we hiked 80 percent of the way and then I took a photo with my telephoto lens. This time we didn’t plan on hiking that close. I planned all along to fly my drone close to it and save us the long hike and time. I wanted some closeup photos and some photos looking down on it. This is one of my favorites.
Hengifoss Iceland
Here is a 7 exposure HDR image of the 118-foot tall waterfall on Iceland’s eastern side called Hengifoss. It is one of the tallest waterfalls in the country. Below it along the trail from the parking lot is another waterfall called Litanesfoss. This was probably the hardest hike MJ and I had while we were in Iceland. The hike was basically straight up the mountain on a goat path. I would climb up this trail for 30 minutes thinking that I had to be getting closer and I swear it seemed like I made no progress. Repeat that process 4 times and you get the idea. As you can imagine, there wasn’t a lot of others on this trail compared to most of our other stops.
Today's post is in memory of Joe Fisher who died way to early at the age of 63 on December 5th battling cortical basal degeneration. Joe and his wife, Jeanne, were celebrating their 44th anniversary on the day of his death. Today our family laid Joe down to rest. He'll be missed as great friend, family man, and person.
