LOL, love your puns, GilliC! I'm really enjoying these posts, even though it's hard for me to participate.

Believe it or not, that's actually the hardest part of doing these. I have a backlog of a dozen themes that I just haven't come up with puns for yet!

More Iceland...

Dettifoss (the location used in the opening scene of Prometheus, and the highest volume waterfall in Europe)


Goðafoss


Some from Norway...

The Seven Sisters at Geirangerfjord


Hiking behind Storseterfossen


Chamarel Falls, Mauritius


And a bit of a stretch, but this tiny waterfall comes straight out of the cliff face on the beach.
It's one of the springwater outlets that gives the name to Praia das Fontes in Ceará, Brazil.

It went on like this for miles... not exaggerating.

Kuang Si Waterfall, Laos
(Travertine is seriously the most amazing rock n the world.  It's what the waterfalls in my pictures are made of.  This is picture is looking down from the top of a tall waterfall.  And when I say from the top, I literally mean I'm standing in the pool of water at the top.  The water is super-saturated with calcium, and when it speeds up as it flows over the edge of the waterfall, the calcium "falls out" and builds up the rock on the lip of the waterfall, which gives you the opposite of the erosion that you see with most waterfalls.)

And from the bottom:


Pamukkale, Turkey
(And a travertine waterfall formed with hot water, not unlike formations at and around Yellowstone...)

Near Aamby Valley, India- the entire region is littered with waterfalls during monsoon season.



Plitvice Lakes, Croatia- National Park with a series of cascading lakes and waterfalls (crashgizmo this is the park I mentioned in the other thread)

We have the same pics!  Were you there in the summer?  We went at the end of October- I think we saw 10 other people in the park.

We were there in June 2010.  There were a decent number of people there by the afternoon when we were leaving, but not so many as such an incredible place deserves.

sillygoosegirl So glad someone has been to Pamukkale and could add to this post! I really want to visit.

Please tell me someone has a pic in Devil's Pool at Victoria Falls!

Remembered one more.
A waterfall at Bourke's Luck Potholes in Blyde River Canyon, South Africa.

Thanks!  It's a pretty amazing place, though unfortunately when we were there they had a ton of the water diverted, trying to get the sun to bleach the pools white again.  A lot of them were full of algae, and not so beautiful as in the pictures when we were there.  That was 4 years ago though, so hopefully they've made good progress by now.

We were there at the end of November. I think we saw three people and they were far away.

Kauai







Luang Probang, Laos




Somewhere up in the jungle in Koh Samui, Thailand.  Honestly we were a little scared that our shady tour guide was going to murder us up the jungle, I didn't ask too many questions, like what was the name of the waterfall was.

Victoria Falls in September during low flow.



Photos taken from the walkway on the Zimbabwe side.  Some places were so misty I could barely get a photo.



GilliC - right about the middle of this picture is where the Devil's Pool is.  We almost went out there this day and backed out at the last minute.  After I saw it from this vantage point, I was SO glad we did!
