The smoke that thunders, a photo from Matabeleland North, West

Photographer's Note

Late afternoon at Victoria Falls, called Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders) by the locals because of the deafening roar as the waters of the Zambezi river plunge into the gorges.
Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Karsten
Welcome to TE, this is one of my dreams is to visit these famous falls, looks just as powerful as the Iguassu in South America. The exposure is good, no burnt out highlights and the soft yellow tone is complimenting. A bungy jump into this place would be heaven in my own weird way. Enjoy your TE experience.
Regards
Jim

I was there, six years after you. And let me say, the place is magnificent, as your shot show very well. This is one of the best close-ups to the falls that I have seen for quite a while. Well done.
Welcome to TE and do not forget to fully participate.

What a nice shot! The vertical option was one-way for the best view! Beautiful nature in front of our eyes! The black colour of the cliffs contrasts nicely with the white colour of the waterfalls! The trees at the edge of the cliff enhance the performance!

Many thanks my friend for sharing.
Warm regards,
Athanasios.
