Kirkjufell Mountain
Yesss, the almighty Kirkjufell mountain in Iceland is the most famous peak there. If you type Iceland to the google search you can already see many photos of this one. Photographers love to take shots of this due to its shape and a waterfall there. Mountain is located on the snaefells peninsula and is easy to access, therefore it is a huge magnet for tourists. I also heard there is a challenging path up the mountain but I didn't try that one. Mountain itself is 463 meters high.
Game of Thrones fans will also surely recognize this location because apparently, it was a filming site in season 7.
I seriously looked forward to taking a shot of this mountain but unfortunately, the weather was not great at all at the time. The sky was all dull and gray plus it was raining. Still, I took the photo and added some heavy color tune for the skies for it to look better. This is the exact place where every photographer takes one photo.
If you look closely you can even see a line running along the edge of the mountain, this is a result of shitty sky editing XD.
Here you can see how the sky really was, no usual color editing can fix this. Its the same waterfall but shot is taken to the other way.
Other than that we hiked there some more, I didn't take many photos because it started raining pretty heavily and I tried to keep my camera as dry as possible.
Imagine hiking up to the top, crazy. I would surely want to do it at some point but it is advisable to do it when you are experienced mountain hiker and preferably with a guide. You don't need a guide but they say its strongly advisable. There have been several fatalities over the years, the last one in 2018 around the same time I was there.
Beautiful waterfall! Nice view!
