At the edge of the Devil's Throat

At the edge of the Devil's Throat

The Iguazu waterfalls. One of those overwhelming places. The roar of these giant waterfalls is deafening, there beauty blinding. This shot of “La Garganta del Diablo” was a battle against the spray, but it was worth it. This was taken from the Brazilian side, the far side, a little obscured by the mist, is Argentina.

    Beautiful falls, very impressive, I like your low angle

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    Thanks. I have several, what a I saying, I have a whole bunch of images from these falls. Yet this is one of my favorites, because of that low angle. Gives a complete different view of these beauties.
