Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

This, people, is an awe-inspiring, sublime sight! Called, in the Tonga language, Mosi-Oa-Tunya ("The Smoke-that-Thunders!"), and said to be the world's largest waterfall (twice the size of Niagara Falls in the US), this place needs to be experienced to be believed. How does one describe the sounds, and the waves of misty and torrential rains caused by the waterfall in the surrounding area? Anyways, here are some photos.

On the side of pedestal is the word "Liberator". Not sure who Dr. Livingstone liberated...
