Title: Free Falling
(May, 2014)
Location: Skógafoss, Iceland
Description: My first ever (of many) true exhilarating moments in Iceland: I finally arrived at Skógafoss, where I set up my tripod and camera while staring in silent awe at the cascading water. I began to shed my layers of scarves, coat and sweater in preparation to put on my red dress for this self-portrait... and then I patiently waited. Waited for the sun and clouds to line up correctly to light the waterfall just right. Waited for the surrounding tourists to finish taking their photos. Waited for the breeze to blow the mist away from my camera lens. After almost 45 minutes, I finally saw my chance. I slipped off my shoes and ran towards the falling sheets of water, camera clicking away behind me... and was suddenly engulfed in the freezing, falling mist as I spun around joyously at the bottom of the falls. It was that very moment, when my clothes were soaked through and my feet kept slipping between rocks and I felt absolutely frozen, that my mindset finally changed from my dreamy "Is this even real?" state to "Oh my frognoggin' firecrackers this is freaking real!" mentality as I had to run back to the warm safety of my coat and scarf. It was one of those moments where I felt most alive... My heart felt so big, and yet the rest of me felt so small. I have greatest respect for these places in nature and I simply can't fathom how beautiful this world is. It blows my mind over and over again. ♥
