Barnafoss - not the most well known of waterfalls in Iceland but what a stunner in Winter
The waterfall,is about 1km wide
That #blue 💙 The meaning of this waterfall is translated as "Children's waterfall". According to the saga, there were two children who were supposed to stay home while the parents went to church for Christmas Mass. When the parents returned from mass, they discovered that the children had disappeared (possibly because the children got bored and decided to go out). They then followed the children's tracks to this waterfall at the stone natural bridge where the tracks disappeared. The mother concluded that the children must have fallen into the river and drowned. Then, the mother had the arch destroyed in order to ensure no one else faces a similar fate.

The wind was wickedly strong this day. Made a long-exposure shot quite challenging. It's amazing how water just pours out of the earth everywhere you go in Iceland.
