The hidden waterfall

The hidden waterfall
Gljúfrabúi, the hidden waterfall, is just a short walk from better known Seljalandsfoss. Lying under Eyjafjallajökull volcano, it is 40m high and mostly hidden by palagonite rocks in front of it. Getting a nearer view involves scrambling up the rocks or wading the river, both can be hazardous.
Vertical panorama stitched from 6 photos.Inset a detail and the falls seen from a distance.

Gljúfrabúi, der vesteckte Wasserfall, ist einen kurzen Spaziergang vom bekannteren Seljalandsfoss entfernt. Er ist 40 m hoch, liegt unterhalb des Eylafjallajökull und ist weitestgehend von Palagonitfelsen verdeckt. Näher heran kommt man nur, wenn man entweder den Felsen hochklettert oder den Fluss durchwatet, beides nicht ganz ungefährlich.
Vertikalpano aus 6 Aufnahmen, im PiP ein Detail und eine Gesamtaufnahme aus der Entfernung.

Sensationelle Fotos...
So etwas Ähnliches gibt es in der Nähe von Riva del Garda auch - die "Cascata di Varone". Muss mal auf die Suche gehen, bei den alten Panoramio Fotos...

Danke vielmals, Udo! Ich wäre ja gerne näher, aber die Steine im Fluss waren glitschig und meine Stiefel nicht hoch genug...

Habe vor einigen Jahren mal eine Canyoningtour in Tirol gemacht, da haben mir 6 Meter den Wasserfall herunterrutschen gereicht...Aber ein tolles Foto, nebst PiP's!

Gudrun club has replied to LotharW club
Ich hatte hier auch keinen Ehrgeiz, die Kamera zu schrotten, wenn ich auf den Steinen im Wasser ausgerutscht wäre;-) Damk dir, Lothar!

Awesome ... both the subject and the technique. Never tried doing a vertical panorama, but then again we don't have such wonders to capture! ;)

Gudrun club has replied to autofantasia club
Many thanks, Paul! I don't do vertical panos very often but they are as easy as normal ones.-) Here I was too close to get it all in one shot and it also solves problems with distortion.
Do try it with tall buildings:-)

Atemberaubend schön. Erst mit den Personen hat man die Größe richtig vor Augen

Herzlichen Dank, Uwe! Das war ein ganz spezieller Wasserfall. Innen soll es eine Höhle geben und eine Art nasses Amphitheater, aber das wollte ich mir und der Kamera nicht antun;-)

Thank you so much, Peter! Not many visit this waterfall. It's very near to Sejalandsfoss but cannot be seen from there.

Thanks a lot, Diane! You cannot see it from the road, so the crowds don't go there;-)
