The smoke that thunders / mosi - o - tunya - Victoria Falls

Well if you are wondering what the title means,’

The smoke that thunders' or 'mosi-o-tunya’ as the local Kololo tribes of Zambia call it, is but the "the Victoria falls" as we know from David Livingstone.

The thick mist and loud roar produced there are heard from a distance of 40 km, aptly named 'mosi o tunya' by locals. After couple of weeks of production trial runs for STS project in Zambia, i finally got a weekend free from work to head off to vic. falls.

....

The first sight of the falls and you go numb for a few seconds, you simply don't expect anything of this magnitude! It's a surreal feeling and probably the only other experience that comes closest would be the first glimpse of taj mahal Livingstone is the town nearest to the vic. falls on the Zambian side is also known as the adrenaline capital of the world because of many insane things one can do here: from white water rafting on the Zambezi to the world-famous bungi jump into the breathtaking gorge, abseiling, gorge swinging, canoeing on the Zambezi (swarming with crocs and hippos) Victoria Falls is one the seven wonders of the natural world for its tremendous size and beauty.

....

Actually, the fall is so big that it can't be seen from any single point and spreads across from Zambia into Zimbabwe. (Victoria Falls is twice as large and twice as wide as Niagara Falls. Imagine! ) It has five different parts to it: Devil's Cataract, Cataract Island, Main Falls, Rainbow Falls, and Eastern Cataract. This is the world's largest sheet of falling water.

...

One more fascinating fact is that there is a permanent rainbow at the Vic falls, formed by the spray from the falls. Check out some of the pics, the best of course are safe in the 4 reels, I finished using my SLR.
