Thingvellir - a photo on Flickriver

Thingvellir

            Now a World Herigatage site, Thingvellir marks the spot where Iceland first established its parliament in 930. The area is a fascinating jumble of strange geologic formations as it sits right on the rift valley where the North American and European plates are tearing apart. Crystal clear water flows into and through the valley, and on the evening I passed through, over my head and camera and everything else. Still a beautiful place though!

I hadn't done enough research prior to arriving and missed a magnificent waterfall just upstream of this spot. It was pouring and I had many km of mountain driving to do overnight, so I snapped a few shots and moved on.
