Hoflehner's Iceland photography
Recently dubbed the nature photographer of the year, Josef Hoflehner photographs remote locales worldwide. His site includes a series of snaps from Iceland taken between 2005 and 2007 -- of black-sand beaches and cliffs of insanity, waterfalls and fjords, ice and grass. This Gullfoss photo is breathtaking (and gasping increases with first-hand memory of the dangerous outcrop on which he must've stood to snap the shot).

Gullfoss also sounds like a fabulous name. I feel you are writing a poem using that name. Are you? Are you?
ah, no(t yet). are you?
'foss' means 'waterfall.' and the double 'll' in 'gull' is pronounced 'tl.' even more fabulous, yeah?
i'm just collecting icelandic names right, to see what will come out of this. and maybe use a couple for my next few segments of voyage ...
but yeah, the name sounds fabulous.
