Yeah, because the weather was atrocious! That shot of Doug is him leaning into the wind and with a little effort, he could have taken flight :) It was raining and cold and generally horrible. Easily our coldest day in Iceland (which was otherwise experiencing a heatwave. It got up to 25° in Reykjavik which at the time was something of a rarity.
You can see the yellowy-green colour of the water which gives the waterfall its name of "Golden Falls" though.
I'd forgotten a lot of this too. I'm shocked to find it was as long ago as all that :)
