Virtual Post Card No.1: Iceland

Dearest pigeon friends,

Today H.D and I arrived at the famous Gullfoss waterfall in Iceland. To get to the top, we had to climb The iconic waterfall is one of the most well known places of interest located in the Hvita river. It falls into a 32 meter drop down a canyon about 70 meters high. It was absolutely gorgeous to look at. According to the information and explanation(that I only half listen to) that the tour guide provided, the waterfall is split into two drops, one about 11 meters and the other about 21 meters long. It's also called the "Golden Falls" because when the sun shines on the waterfall, it's legitimately golden.

The tourist guide also talked about how some power companies wanted to use the waterfall as an electricity source, but a local woman that lived near the waterfall named Sigridur Tomasdottir protested(so intensely that I would assume the government and the companies succumbed to her protests:P) and prevented the government in agreeing to do so(you go, girl!). I suppose that we should all thank her for this. The Gullfoss waterfall would probably be another spectacular waterfall that hasn't been used as an electricity provider. Thank you, Ms. Tomasdottir.

The beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful waterfall.

-Because I don't know where else to put it,

 A.D.
