Hello to all.

Here I will show Svartifoss waterfall (also known as 'blackwaterfall) in Skaftafell, inside huge Vatnajökull National Park (Iceland).
Typical characteristic of this waterfall are geometric dark lava columns.
Here a long exposure picture:

Some of the basalt columns have fallen, leaving surreal shards of rock in upper part.

Waterfall can be reached by a 45 minutes walking and they are one of the most attractive place (and unique in the world) to visit in this country.

From the opposite side, a view of Skaftafell, with its green hills and vast plains in background, plenty of rivers (melting water from Vatnajökull - the largest glacier of Iceland).

Picture taken with Nikon D800.
