Description

Shot in The Kingdom of Swaziland in November last year. It was a boiling hot day with temperatures around 35C and high humidity. The falls, pond and river were looking so inviting but all rivers in Swaziland contains Schistosomes that cause bilharzia - a very nasty human disease caused by these parasitic worms!! Needless to say - we didn't have a swim here! It was a fantastic day though! Thank you for visiting and for your kind comments and favs on my Swazi flower of yesterday that turned out to be a nasty weed!!! LOL... Stay well! Hugs, Carin xx

starring Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn. Stellar lighting, water reflections and jungle textures all around, Carin! The separated falls have a striped effect.

How beautiful! Ek sal bly uit die water weens die wurms, maar Ek sal nie het gemaak dit tot die val om mee te begin weens die hitte! 35C is just a little bit more than I can handle ... like about 11C too much!! Gorgeous shot, Dierbaar!
