The Drakensberg, or Dragon Mountains, is the highest mountain range in South Africa, rising to 3,482 m (11,424 ft) at their highest point. The range is also sometimes called The Escarpment.
From the Zambian side, looking to the west, you can see much further along the falls than you can from the Zimbabwe side since the rising clouds of spray are close to the eastern edge of the gorge.
In this image we’re technically over Zambia, looking west to Zimbabwe at the top of the photo. The cloud of spray at the top of the photo was the cloud in which the rainbow in yesterday’s image was formed.
I took this photo from one of the viewpoints just north of the Victoria Falls Visitor’s Center. I don’t recall the Visitor’s Center so I may have skipped it to spend more time watching the falls.
I captured this sunset a week or two after I crashed the boss’s car. I was struck by the cloud formation at the higher altitude. Below it is another layer of thin clouds giving the patches with less clarity.
I took this shot of the Matla Power Station just after sunset when we were camped at Trichardt, about 80 miles east-southeast of Johannesburg along the N17.
