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

This is gorgeous, and knowing me, I'd think the parasitic worms have something to do with it...but I'm weird like that...I think of parasitic worms as pets, just as long as they're not making parasitic use of me. I say that because with the worms in the water it seems that they add a bit of mystery to the whole scene. You can see the water, but you'd best keep a safe distance from it; that adds to a bit of mystique...keeps the whole thing from becoming mundane, although at 35C, I'd wanna take a dip. I love the colors and when I looked at this before zooming, the orange bit of rock behind the foliage on the left reminded me of a cave opening with firelight shining out. This is fantastic! Needless to say, I've looked at this a few times before making this comment.
