Description
In a geological feature found many places in Iceland, columns of basalt rock were formed many years ago, as cooling lava solidified into tightly packed hexagonal shapes. At Svartifoss (the “Black Falls”), the columns form a natural amphitheater where the on-going action of water and weather slowly carve away chunks of the rock face. Water flows over and seeps through, and creates the conditions for a carpet of rich green plant life covering the steep tumbles of fallen boulders.

Has a fairy tale look to it Royce. Very scenic.
Royce Howland replied:
Thanks Thomas. At locations that are new to me, and where I also have only a little time to work, I'm trying to really focus on getting something distinctive on that first experience. Something well connected to a sense of the place...
