epic
heroic or grand in scale or character.
I have head it said that ‘epic’ is…
…often overused and misused.

In 2014 while visiting Botswana we
came upon (during a side trip)
this fisherman standing too far
from the rock’s edge for my liking.
…but it does appear that he
does have a fish on his spear.
Widening the crop and he does appear
to be along way from the edge of the river.
Another crop and it’s not just running water
he needs to be aware of.
I added an pointer so he would be clearly visible…
fishing close to the edge of
Zimbabwe’s,
Victoria falls.

SUNDAY STILLS PHOTO: Edge

Although I do not have a photo to prove the fact,
I did see the Northern Lights in August 1976.
Not a very colourful display but my Canadians friends
assured me it was the northern lights.
In May the same year I visited Stonehenge also.
In 2016 I was able to add…
…the Colosseum to that list.
I still marvel that these pavers were laid nearly 2000 years ago.
Just imagine also the feet which have walk across here.
In 2014 we were…
…fortunate enough to visit…
…the Victoria Falls.
In April 2012 we spent a few hours…
out on the…
Great Barrier Reef.
I remember being little disappointed that we did not see
the colours often seen in movies/documentaries.
We were also told that a recent cyclone
had wrecked this section of the reef.
The comment left me wondering why we did not go
to another, more attractive part.
After revisiting these photos I think my thoughts were a bit harsh.
All of these places of sites can be found on
an ‘Ancient’, ‘Natural’ or ‘New’ Wonders of the World search.

A lone fisherman.
Would it be…
a fair comment…
to say he…
up river…
(Can you see him in this shot? )
from Zimbabwe’s
Victoria Falls.
Not sure how I managed to forget last week’s challenge.

Looking at my first image…
you would are likely to think,
just a young bloke out fishing.
Then we see some white water and…
the probability of him coming
to grief rise significantly…
at Zimbabwe’s
Victoria Falls.

Ups and Downs from everywhere.
Victoria Falls joyride.
A Balloon ride over Melbourne.
Not sure if this is the front or back entrance,
but it was captured in old Sydney.
My recent drive up and down
Mount Buninyong
yielded two roads…
one for the journey up,
the other for the journey down.
And in this case what goes up must come down, on Geelong’s Eastern Beach.

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL-Zoom-In-Zoom-Out
I know I declared last week a tough selection of words.
However, this week it is the opposite end of the scale. 🙂
Nothing to dramatic about a fisherman
out to feed his family…unless…
the river is a bit wider than the first photo indicated…
and he was only a few metres from a waterfall.
And not just any waterfall,
but what is considered, by some,
to be the largest waterfall in the world
While they are not the widest waterfall
or the highest waterfall,
but with all dimensions taken into account,
including almost the largest flow rate,
they are considered to be
the biggest curtain of falling water in the world.
Surpassing the magnificent Niagara Falls and Iguacu Falls.
