Kirkjufell in the Rain - a photo on Flickriver

            So before we ever set foot in Iceland, I knew Kirkjufell (translated from the Icelandic as "Church Mountain") was pretty much at the top of my list of places to photograph. This spot - in front of the waterfall - is the starting point, I think, for every single photographer that has set foot up there, but what the heck. 

We stayed in Borgarnes, about 70 kilometers from Kirkjufell, and we drove up in a driving rain storm with wind gusts in the 40-50 mph range. Just crazy...It was still raining when we pulled into Kirkjufell, but at least it was raining from behind us - leaving some semi-interesting clouds over the water, and leaving the front of my lens protected from the rain...

I've seen some beautiful shots from this spot - with stunning skies (you're looking northwest here), but that will have to wait for another trip. On the plus side, as our first real stop on Snaefellsnes, the sun came out 20 minutes after we left, and it was pretty epic the rest of the day. But still - I'm keeping Kirkjufell on the list, and I may have to return with the 16-35 in addition to my 24-70 to see the second cascade just out of frame to the right.
