Serenity
The incredible Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
The falls provide part of the boarder between Zambia (to the left) and Zimbabwe. As the majority of water cascades over the left side, the best views come from being in Zimbabwe.
This was taken in the dry season, when only 30% of the falls are active. In the wet season, the entire left side of the photo would be drenched with falling water.
