Victoria Falls, view of the Cauldron. Zimbabwe, Africa.
The local people call it the ” Big Smoke” for very obvious reasons. The plume of spray can be spotted for MILES around !! There was so much water when we visited, we got soaked to the skin in spite of wearing waterproof capes.
It was a battle to take any photographs at all. I used a plastic rain cover to protect my gear, and constantly had to wipe the lens dry. Luckily no damage was done !
I will forever remember the deafening roar of the water thundering down the mighty Zambesi. Standing on the edge of the abyss was quite something , frightening, but I could feel life surging through my veins !

. . there are certain places and scenes that defy photography . . in as much as what ever the camera captures it can never reveal the emotion and experience of the person behind the lens . . . this is one of those places and images . . .I cannot begin to imagine how it must have felt to face this awsome site leave alone attempt to photograph it? . . .thats not intented to taking anything away from a very fine photograph . . a very good job in what must have been an intimidating location ? . . .

I quite agree.
I left the place in utter AWE, knowing that NO WAY could something so mighty could be captured by even the very best of Photographers !!!
It was pretty frightening in its absolute power, Mother Nature is astounding.
