In the past few weeks, we have met several friends who were about to head to Iceland or had just returned. This is a wonderful time of year to visit since it is before the majority of the crowds arrive, the ground is starting to thaw, and there is still a good opportunity to see the Northern Lights. We went during February of 2016 and it was definitely cold, so much so that the famous Gullfoss Waterfall was still mostly frozen and yet strangely beautiful. It is one of the major attractions on the Golden Circle, a route that takes you to many of the natural wonders the island nation has to offer. Although we weren’t fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights, we did enjoy every minute of our brief trip to Iceland. For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Winter – Water, we couldn’t help but think of standing before the falls, ice-cold water spray freezing on our faces, and looking in awe at the beauty of nature. We are sure it is spectacular during the summer months as well, but we will always treasure seeing it in the harshest of seasons, winter.
We were there in summer, it looked much different then 🙂
☺We hope to see it in summer as well
Great shots! Thanks for posting. We’d love to go there and see it in the winter, must be spectacular and without the crowds.
A definite plus not having all of the crowds ☺
Must be cold….
It was the coldest day whill we were there. We prepared with good Underarmour cold gear and it really helped a lot.
Wow the pictures are amazing! You must have been chilly haha… But worth it right? 🙂
Definitely worth it. We used Underarmour cold gear, most of the time it was just our faces that were cold ☺
The views are totally worth a cold face 😉

You most definitely captured winter and water. Your first photo makes me want to put a coat on. 😀
Thank you. It was a little chilly ☺
