15Feb2008 at head of Kabarega (Murchison) Falls along the upper Nile River in Uganda. Just beyond where I stood, the Nile was squeezed between rock walls only 7 meters apart, causing a tremendous rush of water, 300 cubic meters per second (Wikipedia). My wife "Lee" (Shirley) took this photo, while urging me not to get so close to the brink of the 43 meter waterfall.
Canon PowerShot A630
1/400 sec; f/4.1
Evaluative metering

That does not look like a happy place to take a tumble. Good to meet you, Ron! :wavey:

Ron,

Balancing a 300mm on a tripod in a canoe and in this shot moving closer to the abyss--you like to be on the edge. Your wife made a great shot of you in action................................Jim
