Oh No!  I Dropped My Book! by taffy

Oh No! I Dropped My Book!

I'm beginning to see creatures in the photos I took in Iceland. Pall had alerted us to this particular section. This was at Hraunfossar waterfall, the longest series of waterfalls I've encountered -- all along the cliffs that line a river, each segment in a different formation, some elegantly simple, some meandering, and this one - my favorite - shaped like someone who's throwing her hands up in frustration.
Or maybe that's projecting feelings, as I'm still deleting in anticipation of tomorrow's meeting and the need to transfer files. Hopefully tomorrow takes care of everything!
If interested, here's the context where I took this shot... http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2017-04-10
Check out Junko's image that shows the specific section where my book-dropping creation was located: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2017-04-02
Thanks as always for your wonderful comments and favs. I'm so relieved you're enjoying the (never-ending) Iceland images)!

A lovely formation - I am always looking for a picture within a picture and here I see an ogre's head -- his two eyes , bulbous nose perhaps a ling white beard and tears streaming down his face ! fav

I think it looks like a nun raising her hands in worship! Very Sound of Music moment! It's like clouds, everyone sees something different ;)

Cheering you on for your meeting today and hope it all goes well for you and your photos. Fingers and toes crossed for you!
April 11th, 2017  
Great imagination. It took me a minute to see it. Now I can't unseen it. LOL

I always see things in photos like this. Like the tree of life.
April 11th, 2017  
Stunning shot! I see a tree. So is the water coming out of the rocks?
April 11th, 2017  
So beautiful. The water flow is amazing. And yes, first glance, that is a book. Fav!

This waterfall alone makes it seem gigantic to me. Amazing the different perspectives of you and Junko.

Wow! Looks a little like water flowing through fingers
April 11th, 2017  
Great shutter control
April 11th, 2017  
I think she might be a soprano - reaching the high notes and performing for her public! Great to see!
April 11th, 2017  
Fabulous shot. Fav
April 11th, 2017  
Lovely lines of flowing water!
April 11th, 2017

Stunning!

Stunning display of mother nature's awesome beauty and power.
April 12th, 2017  
I really like the way there are lots of water trails coming down. Very picturesque.
April 12th, 2017  
Beautiful! Looks like a tree to me! Dropped my external hard drive and now waiting to hear if any of my 17,000 can be restored. Yes, it was the only copy!! : (
April 12th, 2017  
Love all the v shapes and the shutter speed is perfect
April 12th, 2017  
Wonderful lacy pattern, created by the waterfall. So much to like about this one, including the color tones of the bank and the softness of the water flow. I hope you put this up on Flickr, because I think it will be a bit clearer there.
April 12th, 2017  
@rosiekerr Computer going in for repair tomorrow through, I hope, no later than Monday. Will post again after that unless I can figure out how to make the loaner I'm using connect to my other drive and dropbox. Joy...shouldn't have added up the hours today spent on recovery -- so frustrating! But keeping in perspective in compared to 'real' problems.
April 12th, 2017  
@sheilaj Allow a couple of hours there no matter what time of day! If you can go later in the afternoon the lighting works well. There was so much to experiment with -- different groupings, a bridge, a raging river above. Quite fun! Tripod for sure, ND filter if you have one (really recommend this!).
April 12th, 2017  
wow..what a shot!!
April 12th, 2017  
I really like how they converge towards the center
April 12th, 2017  
@sheilaj Pall sent me the name of the waterfall, which I thought would be useful to you: Hraunfossar waterfall
April 12th, 2017  
Wow, love this Taffy
April 12th, 2017  
Oh, yes! I do see the frustrated hands up in the air and the book dropped in the water. Fantastic! Another excellent image from your Iceland collection. Now I'm going to check out your linked photo for the context where you took this shot. :-)
April 13th, 2017  
Incredible shot! Almost other-worldly.
April 13th, 2017  
Beautiful capture, an image you keep looking at
April 13th, 2017  
Lee
Wonderful image.
April 14th, 2017  
I loved Hraunfossar falls, the way the water just comes right out of the middle of the land... underneath the surface like a secret waterfall. Beautiful image. And a great title!
April 15th, 2017  
Brilliant
April 15th, 2017  
@ksmale I agree -- these were among the most beautiful waterfalls we saw, with so many different photographic possibilities.
April 15th, 2017  
Reminds me of the little ghost in the series of children's books -- Georgie (had to do a Google search for the name - it's been a long time since I thought of him)
April 17th, 2017  
@mcsiegle So funny you mentioned Georgie! I loved that book as a kid and created my own Georgie ghost that was my imaginary friend for a while.
April 17th, 2017  
excellent
April 17th, 2017  
stunning.
April 17th, 2017  
Fav!
