Rainbow Falls composes part of Victoria Falls and often, when you look down, the gorge has beautiful rainbows.

Every photo I took of Zimbabwe, every photo, every painting I've seen of the Falls,
just doesn't do it remote justice.

Into the Mist: the Victoria Falls Edition

Photobucket
While visiting Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, in the dry season,

Photobucket
I was amazed by the amount of water still flowing from this natural wonder of the world.

Photobucket
Even in the dry season, I had to pull out a waterproof point-and-shoot camera because of all the mist!

Photobucket
INSANE, isn't it?  This is what this area looked like from farther (and drier) away.

Photobucket
I am excited to visit it again during the rainy season...where I hear the water is insane and you have to wear a poncho!

Photobucket
Pretty dramatic, eh?  So beautiful.

Victoria Falls in the Dry Season

Photobucket
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

With a rainbow!

Photobucket
The Falls from Zimbabwe.

Photobucket
How different the Falls look closer than the Victoria Falls Hotel.

Photobucket
Even at the height of the dry season, there was a ridiculous amount of water.

Photobucket
The sound of the falling water was AMAZING.
You could hear it long before you reached the Falls.

Photobucket
I saw the Falls' mists and my first thought was holy moly! That is a LOT of water.
Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Photobucket
If it's this much water and mist in the dry season, I can't wait to see the Falls during the rainy season!

Photobucket

Photobucket
All the water from the Falls leaves part of an environment similar to that of a rain forest.
