<p>While exploring the Lake Shastina area in Edgewood, California, I found myself drawn to the tranquility of the surrounding environment. The setting was to the southeast, as I crouched low behind some tall grasses in the dried up lakebed. The rest of the composition was using the LiveView LCD screen on my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera to compose the image and closing down on the aperture so that I could bring more of the setting to focus, even though my main area of interest was the grasses directly to my front.</p>

<p>Selfoss is a town in southern Iceland, situated on the banks of the Ölfusá River in the municipality of Árborg. It is the largest settlement in southern Iceland and an important regional centre for commerce, education, transport, and public services.<br />
<br />
The town’s development is closely connected to the crossing over the Ölfusá River. A suspension bridge was built at Selfoss in 1891, making the area an important transport link between Reykjavík and southern Iceland. The present bridge was opened in 1945. Selfoss expanded significantly during the twentieth century, with residential areas, businesses, schools, and public institutions developing around the river and the main road routes.<br />
<br />
Today, Selfoss combines residential neighbourhoods, commercial areas, public buildings, and riverfront surroundings. It is also associated with the agricultural communities of southern Iceland and serves as a gateway to nearby areas such as Þingvellir, the Golden Circle, and the southern coast.</p>

<p>Visiting Bridalveil waterfall  is an easy walk for  travelers from around the world.  There is an ample parking lot and some of the best views are right there.  Still you will want to walk the 3 tenths of a mile paved walkway to get to base and enjoy the mist on your face.  Every second the falls is changing as winds play with the cascading water creating lovely forms.  If you climb the rocks even closer beware that even dry boulders have been so polished by nature over time that it can be slippery without water. A lovely viewpoint for many photographers is waiting for sunset on the Merced river as the sun lights up the glacial granite cliffs by the falls.  You can also see the falls and the entire valley from the tunnel overlook on Highway 41 which is a must stop for all visitors to this classic national park and world treasure. Plunging 620 feet (189 meters), Bridalveil Fall is often the first waterfall you'll see when entering Yosemite Valley. See it at its best in April and May.  <br />
