"THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS"

One of the 7 wonders of the world -Oh yer for obvious reasons! An epic evolving and eternal masterpiece ! A taste of heaven for sure! It is easy to become immersed in your experience at the Falls , watching the mighty Zambizi river cascading over the edge into the air changing from translucent brown into white curtains of delight speaking of the glory and power of the ever present all knowing almighty God !
You can feel the share power of the falls through the rocks as the sound of the water lets out a constant rolling thunder - the wind swirls around continuously , no one view or experience is ever the same  no artist could ever produce such a masterpiece of such epic proportions -THIS IS THE WORK OF THE ALMIGHTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was for warned that I was going to get wet so I came prepared with a jacket and gopro in waterproof housing  and bare feet , however I brought my gopro housing that I had modified by putting a hole in the side for an external power source - my lens started fogging  up inside the housing so I rushed out the park and asked if I could grab a taxi to shoestrings to grab my other housing and some shoes too , I also ripped some pieces of  tissue paper and put it inside the housing to absorb the moisture  - bit the lens continued to fog so I had to find shelter now and then to get air into the housing - also because of the  spray and at times monsoon like rain you had to keep clearing the beeds of water from the lens -I was wiping the lens covering with a cloth when I remembered that I had read to just lick the lens covering and the saliva acts like a buffer - and it worked - so funny showing people the footage - the dont expect to see me licking my camera like a dog  woof woof ! So there I was right on the edge overlooking the falls in the monsoon rain jumping for  joy and  going  OFF  as the atmospheres were colliding  producing loud cracks and thunders in the midst of the yahooing and yelling - the rain was warm and heavy and sometimes cold  I ill never forget it -bring it on!!
