Ellinjaa Falls

Leave a reply

A little over a year ago, we spent a week up in Palm Cove. I’m not sure why I haven’t done this before, but this trip I researched and found a photo tour guide to take us out for a day. We had a couple of options, but we decided on doing a tour of a few waterfalls in the hinterlands. Our guide was great and we visited four waterfalls that day. I was really interested in testing out my neutral density filters and getting some long exposure shots.

This waterfall is Ellinjaa Falls and we stayed for a while getting shots of both the falls as well as the river below. There was a party of about 15 people swimming in the falls, but I got ahead of them long enough to get a few snaps.

Millaa Millaa Falls

Last January, we took a week and headed up to the northern region of Queensland – affectionately known as ‘the FNQ’, as in Far North Queensland. On one of our days, we did a photography tour through the bush, looking for waterfalls. I wanted to try my new filters for long exposure. We hit 4 different spots that day, with this one being Millaa Millaa Falls. We were relatively lucky that it was midweek, and there weren’t a lot of other people around. Nice to just get shots of nature and not lots of people in the water.

Fitzroy Falls

Last year, we organized a big house down in Kangaroo Valley for my birthday.  It was us and 3 other couples.  The weekend was basically eating, drinking and a little bit o’ hiking.  On the way back to Sydney, we stopped for a break at Fitzroy Falls.  Delightful weekend.

Small waterfalls at the edges of continents

Today we’re back in Iceland for a quick stop.  This waterfall was along a path just outside of Thingviller.  We stopped at the main Thingviller site and walked around a bit.  After visiting the tourist spot, we walked down and around the main rocks. A much smaller waterfall appeared behind a little cliff.   We spent so much time here because it is one of the two spots in the entire world. Here, you can see the joining of two continental plates above ground.  It really is fascinating. Once you understand, you realize that you are standing on two continents.

Thingviller, in Icelandic, means Parliament Plains.  It is where, for two weeks each summer, the would hold Parliament, resolve any disputes and pass laws. Really a remarkable place.

Perspective on Size

Not too much of an explanation needed here.  I believe this waterfall is Skógafoss, which we hit on our way back to the city from Jökulsárlón.  We were pretty road weary, but we kept on trekking to get the trip complete.  Officially,  Skógafoss waterfall is a width of 82 feet and a drop of 200 ft.  I can’t say this photo gives the grandeur the justice it deserves.
