These falls are situated in South Africa's arid Northern Cape. It is where the Orange River plumets over rugged cliffs into a deep gorge. The normal flow of these falls is 50 000 - 75 000 litres per second. The past week it reached 2.9 million litres per second after recent heavy rains in the catchment area. This photo was taken at 1.966 million litres per second as it was a scramble to take some time from work and drive 1 165 km's to reach the spectacle in time. Despite the lower volume the constant spray was still a struggle.
