Black Falls & Musical Organ Pipes - a photo on Flickriver

            The Black Fall (Svartifoss) is a 25-meter high waterfall in the National Park of Vatnajökull in Iceland. 

Plunging over a wall of symmetrical columnar basalt that recalls organ pipes, these dark lava pillars give the fall its name. The hexagonal columns were formed inside a lava flow that cooled extremely slowly, producing crystallization.

Exif: ISO 100 ; f/13 (with 3 stop ND filter) ; 8 sec ; @24mm
I got my shoes and socks off, and waded a little across the stream to get to the place where I took this shot.
