Powerful Pictures

A man cools his feet in Victoria Falls in Zambia.

So I was scrolling through the "Simply Beautiful Photographs, moments" gallery of National Geographic's website, and this photo captured my attention. There is just something about this picture that made my heart rate rocket. There is something to be said about the dichotomy of the danger of the frothing water rushing over the edge of Africa's highest water fall and the calmness of the man standing in the river. The best way, I think, to describe this picture is exhilarating. This photo evokes in me feelings akin to those I feel just before a roller coaster, just before I jump down a zip line, just before I enter a "haunted" house--in other words, feelings normally evoked only in an artificial environment (well only in America, I guess). All in all, this is an absolutely striking photograph.
