Iceland is full of spots like this. Just one great view after another…
Goðafoss
This wonderful waterfall is on the north side of Iceland. In Icelandic, the name means waterfall of the god. Of course, when the waterfall was named, the gods the people worshipped were pagan. This spot has good parking on both sides of the falls with numerous easy to access paths. When traveling around Iceland, this is a must stop and see spot.
NY Waterfalls
Here is another photo from Taughannock Falls. This is a zoomed in version of the top of the falls.
Taughannock Falls
Here is a photo I look last weekend in the Finger Lakes area of New York. This is a wonderful State Park with this large waterfall.
Seljalandsfoss
This unique waterfall in Iceland has a complete path that travels behind and underneath it. For some reason, during our first trip to Iceland in 2013, MJ and I didn’t explore these paths. We just looked at the waterfall from the front of it. This recent trip, we made sure to complete hike the path. We got wet from the mist, but it was great. It is one of those amazing experiences that we’ll never forget.
Gufufoss
There are probably thousands of waterfalls in Iceland. Seriously, they are everywhere. When you’re visiting Iceland, by day three you start to say this phrase loud when you find/see another waterfall. “Oh, gee look another waterfall”. There are just so many of them you start to take them for granted very quickly.
Anyway, I didn’t know this one existed until we came upon it after leaving the village of Seydisfjordur. It was a great surprise even though it wasn’t early in our trip…
Hengifoss
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.
Ricketts Glen
Here is an oldie…meaning I took this photo a few years ago. It has been sitting on my hard drive in my folder where I save photos to share with you some day. For whatever reason, I’ve passed over this one for some time. But today is the day for it. Enjoy this waterfall from Ricketts Glen State Park in central Pennsylvania.

Babcock State Park
I feel like I missed fall this year. I don’t know if it was because of my work schedule, travel schedule or if I just blinked and missed it. Regardless, I missed it. Thankfully, we had nice weather this weekend.
Anyway, here is a fall photo I took, not this fall, down at Babcock State Park in West Virginia. It’s an amazing spot.

Serenity
As weird as this sounds, I can’t remember where I took this photo. It is either Rickets Glen State Park in central Pennsylvania or it is from Watkins Glen State Park in the State of New York. I was taking water fall photos in both places the same weekend and I’ve lost track. How sad is that??? My memory is getting really bad.

Grist Mill
Today’s picture is of the Grist Mill in Babcock State Park in West Virginia. We planned this perfectly to capture the fall color change at this spot and of course, it didn’t work out. As you can see, the color was changing, but we missed the peak fall foliage color.

Watkins Glen State Park
Today’s photo is from Watkins Glen State Park in New York State. This is a very unique state park with a Gorge Trail running down the middle of the park. This trail has a number of wonderful waterfalls, like this one.

Gorge Trail
Ricketts Glen State Park
I’ve written about this location many times in the past, but I’ll say it again. If you get the chance, go hike the waterfall trail at this Pennsylvania state park. There are a ton of great waterfalls all within a three-mile hike. Just amazing.

Great waterfall in a great state park
Ricketts Glen
Today’s photo is from Ricketts Glen State Park in central Pennsylvania. It’s an amazing park with over 30 named waterfalls and hundreds of smaller ones. It is so worth the trip if you like hiking, waterfalls, etc….

Falling Water
Tonight’s post is of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water home in rural southwestern Pennsylvania. It was originally built for the Kaufmann family, who owned a department store in downtown Pittsburgh back in the 1930s. This home is built over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Fayette County in the Laurel Highlands area of the Allegheny Mountains.
The home is listed on Smithsonian's Life List of places "to visit before you die". It is also a National Historic Landmark.
We had some friends in for the weekend, so we visited this site and the Andy Warhol Museum in downtown Pittsburgh.

Skogafoss, Iceland
Hello. I hope you’re having a great Tuesday. Tonight I have an old photo for you, with a new twist. Meaning, I loved this photo when I took it in 2013 and processed it then. So I reprocessed it again this week and am sharing it again with my latest and current processing techniques. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Here is another photo from the unique and beautiful Rickett’s Glenn State Park in central Pennsylvania. I’ve visited this park a number of times even though it is about 4 hours away from our house. Just a wonderful spot!!

Here is a “behind the lens” picture of this setting. You can see my camera setup for the photo above.
Godafoss Iceland
Today I have a 7 exposure auto-bracketed HDR image of the beautiful Godafoss. This was one of the highlights of the trip for me. This waterfall is amazing and I took pictures from just about every angle possible. I hope you enjoy it as well.
