Beautiful waterfall? Not quite. Brown water could be soil runoff, but red water makes it look like a giant chemical plant must be dumping pollutants just upstream.
You could be right, Larry. But it could also be that this cataract is carrying sediments during a monsoon, temporarily turning this enormous amount of water to red. I have seen karst lakes in Croatia, one communicating with another, several in a row, each with its own beautiful and almost 'unnatural' color and yet explained by the nature of the terrain. At least I hope it's the case with this waterfall...

Larry & Laurent - You both brought up good points, but Google couldn't find anything about that falls.
ReplyDeleteThere are still decent people in this world, able to make a sacrifice for the common good. Selfishness and greed aren't the only human motives.
