Threshhold of the Abyss
© 1971 David Smith
Golden Falls, near Reykjavik, Iceland

"We were on a bus tour around Reykjavik with fellow attendees from an international conference for the Bahá'í Faith.  This was one of a number of sites we visited together and it was quite spectacular.  I watched with camera in hand as these two sightseers approached the edge of the falls for a closer look.  The awesome power and beauty of the scene seems enhanced by their presence - simultaneously bold and tentative - as they peer over the precipice." - David Smith
