Sunset over Zambezi River near Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Location: Zambezi River, Zimbabwe, Africa (17° 55′ 28″ S, 25° 51′ 24″ E)
Date: 5 April 2001; 6.20pm
Camera: (analogue) Canon 500N with slides and scanned

The Zambezi River is the 4th longest river in Africa and forms part of the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Around here it drops and forms the spectacular Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world. At its widest single drop, the river plummets at its width of 1,708 meters with incredible power, forming the First Gorge. At other sections of the river before the falls, it is a mainly calm , shallow and slow-flowing river; just like the section in this photograph.

I was in the Zambezi river in 1999, because I was training with the Chile's national team of Rafting,
I can say that it is one of the most wonderful palaces in the planet earth, excellent picture I have a similar one!22dd
