Chapter 1357 1340. River Fishing (15)
The name of the Golden Waterfall comes from its unique geographical location.
Wang Bo read a travel magazine and said that due to the turbulent flow of the waterfall, the water droplets splashed by the pouring river will fill the sky, so that it will appear golden yellow under the sunlight, as if the whole waterfall is forged with gold. Magnificent.
He drove to the waterfall parking lot with anticipation, and he could already see the big waterfall here, but he could only see the sky full of water mist, not the golden yellow at all.
"Is there no sunshine today?" Lao Wang looked up suspiciously, and then saw a softly shining sun hanging high in the sky.
Eva said: "The reputation of this kind of scenic spot is always a little exaggerated. Besides, it is winter now, the sun is so weak, it is normal that you can't see the golden color."
Wang Bo sighed regretfully: "Then let's go and have a look."
The waterfall rushes down with a sound like thunder.
Under such circumstances, it is natural not to bring the baby to the front. Bo's mother stayed to take care of the child, and the other four walked together.
Because there are Xiao Wang, Zhuang Ding and Fat Cat brothers in the car, Wang Bo doesn't have to worry about the safety of his mother and children, not to mention that Iceland's security ranks first in the world.
Since 2012, this country has been officially selected by UNESCO as the most peaceful country in the world.
The selection took into account many indicators, such as the crime rate, the stability of the political situation, the ratio of the prison population to the total population of the society, etc., and Iceland ranked first in many items.
For example, Wang Bo has only been in Iceland for three days this time, and he discovered a habit of Icelanders, that is, they tie up their pets outside when they go shopping, and even leave their babies outside the door. Who dares to do this?
Iceland is in the off-season of tourism this season, there are not many tourists, and not many people come to watch the Golden Waterfall.
When the four of them walked to the viewing platform, there were dozens of people watching and taking pictures on the entire river bank, scattered sparsely.
But this is just right, if there are fewer people, Wang Bo can go to the front line to watch this waterfall. The Golden Waterfall may not be worthy of the name and is not golden, but it is indeed large in scale and powerful!
The width of 2,500 meters and the height of 70 meters are nothing in terms of numbers, but when he got to the front, Wang Bo looked around and felt really shocked.
The incense burner in the sun produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river in the distance.
Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls nine days.
Because of the mist, Wang Bo couldn't see that it was 2,500 meters away. This gave him a feeling that the waterfall was vast and mighty, as if it had no end.
The turbulent water flowed down, and then poured into the canyon with great force. Under the drop of tens of meters, the water slapped the ground and made a deafening roar.
Eva went to buy four pairs of earplugs and handed them one pair to each of the three. Wang Bo felt much better after putting on the earplugs.
But in this way, there will be no shocking feeling of the waterfall itself.
On the viewing platform where they were, there were people sitting there sketching and painting. Wang Bo went over to take a look, and the person turned his head and laughed loudly: "Are you tourists?"
He nodded and said, "Yes, I came here for the name."
The man stopped his brush and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you came in the wrong season. There is lush greenery in spring, dazzling sunlight in summer, and flocks of birds in autumn. Now there is nothing, and the water is full of water." year minimum."
Wang Bodao: "But it's still very shocking. It's the first time I've seen such a big waterfall."
"What you see is not the whole picture of the waterfall. To see the whole picture, it is best to take a helicopter, but the helicopter cannot operate in winter."
"Why?" Pharaoh didn't mind spending some money for the beauty.
The man pointed to the wet drawing paper and said, "Look, how big is the water mist? You must know that the water mist will adhere to the fuselage, wings and even the engine of the helicopter. The temperature is low in winter. What if it freezes?"
After speaking, he introduced the general situation of the waterfall to Wang Bo.
Gullfoss is the largest fault canyon waterfall in Iceland, where the river water forms two waterfalls, upper and lower. What they saw was the upper waterfall, which was 50 meters high, and there was a lower waterfall going downstream.
"You can go down and have a look. The river below narrows into a torrent, where delicious salmon is abundant. Although this is not the salmon breeding season, but luckily, you can still eat the freshest salmon without any pollution!"
Wang Bo thanked the man and wished him a satisfactory painting. After taking some photos, they took the tram in the scenic spot and went downstream.
It is said to be downstream, but in fact the two waterfalls are very close to each other, not as wide as the waterfall, at most two kilometers away.
The river narrows rapidly here, and there are neat railings on both sides of the bank to protect it. Even in winter, the current is still terrible.
In this case, there are still people standing in the current to fish. Of course, they are either standing on stones or on the edge of the river bank, and the river is relatively shallow.
Wang Bo went down to watch, and someone waved to him and said, "Tourists, don't come down, don't come down! Be careful slipping into the water, it's too dangerous here!"
That being the case, he stood on it obediently.
As a result, someone beside him laughed and said, "You were scared by him. There is no rule here that tourists are not allowed to go down to the river bank. As long as they don't go over the railing, it's fine."
After hearing this, Wang Bo walked down again. Now that he has arrived at the scenic spot, what's the point of looking at it from a distance?
These people were either fishing or casting nets, and there was a water tank next to each of them. He probed and looked, and there were more or less fish in the water tank.
A gray-haired old man next to him began to pull the net to the shore. The rapid turbulence and the heavy fishing net made him unable to do so. It seemed that the action of pulling the net was very strenuous.
Seeing this, Wang Bo took off his coat and walked over, took over the position of the old man's hands, like an ancient woman spinning yarn, turned the elbows of his arms outward, and then used the strength of his chest to draw the net back.
Seeing his movement, the old man let go of his hand, and he saw that Wang Bo was an expert.
The fishing net was very heavy when it was pulled back, and it became lighter as it went back, but even at the back, Wang Bo had to work hard.
Therefore, he smiled at the old man: "There are good harvests in it."
The old man beamed and said, "That's great, it's not in vain for me to go out so early."
The tough fishing net was pulled up, and there were three fish in it. The big one was as long as Wang Bo's forearm, and the small one was more than 20 centimeters.
These three fish are of the same species, with slender and round bodies, like weaving shuttles.
Seeing that there were only three fish, Wang Bo was surprised and said, "I thought there would be ten or eight."
The strength of the three fish exceeded his expectations.
The old man smiled and said, "This is normal. They grow in cold water, and it takes a long time to grow up, so their strength is much greater than that of farmed fish."
