The next shot from Victoria Falls.

The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya are situated on the Zambezi River, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and are roughly 1.7 km (1 mile) wide and 128 m (420 ft) high. They are considered a remarkable spectacle because of the peculiar narrow slot-like chasm into which the water falls, so one can view the falls face-on.

David Livingstone, a Scottish explorer, visited the falls in 1855 and renamed them after Queen Victoria, though they were known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, the "smoke that thunders". The falls are part of two national parks, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe, and are one of Southern Africa's major tourist attractions. They are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pięknie pokazujesz miejsca, które mogę oglądać tylko tutaj, na zdjęciach. Dobrze dobrany czas ekspozycji podkreśla dynamikę. Ciekawa notka dodaje wartości. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.

Dobrze pokazana dynamika spadającej wody. Bardzo ładne miejsce.

WOW! That is a spectacular shot my friend. The motion of the water is just amazing in your shot and it's just great to see the farther parts in the upper part together with the mist of the fall in the lower. Great job.

U, piękny wodospad. Pewnie towarzyszył mu niesamowity szum. Tylko coś ciut krzywo jest. Warto jednak popatrzeć.
