Being general optimists, my wife and I made reservations to go on a cruise with her sisters in October 2021. Since that is a time I prefer for us to take a dedicated photography trip, I checked around for an alternative. I found a nice-looking photo workshop in Iceland for November, and made additional bookings for that. This turned out to be a doubly good plan, as the cruise ended up getting cancelled anyway.
Landing in Iceland (my wife decided to stay home), I was met by the workshop leader and a snowstorm. The group spent the rest of the day mostly driving through the gloomy weather. Our route headed north past Reykjavík as we began a large clockwise loop around the entire island of Iceland. The weather did improve to a degree, but we still had mostly cloudy skies from day to day, with only occasional breaks of sun.
By the sixth day, we had come around to the southern coast and the Seljalandsfoss. It is one of the finest waterfalls in Iceland, and one that you can walk behind, although there is a lot of mist there to get on your lens.
