o A child on the edge of an abiss !!!
o This is called “The Devil's Pool”, a natural swimming pool formed in the rocks just above the 108 metre high Victoria Falls!!!
Challenging danger!
The bravest ones stand on the very edge to get their photos taken!
From September to December, due to low water levels, it is safe to swim on the edge of this waterfall.
Jumping into the pool!
Unforgetable!!!!
Curiosity overcomes fear...
Daring!!!
Taking original photos!!
Such emotion...
And euphoria...
An adrenalin discharge and yell of excitement at the edge of the abyss!!!
Well? Did that excite you?
