Iguacu at sunset
Legend has it that a deity planned to marry a beautiful woman named Naipí, who fled with her mortal lover Tarobá in a canoe. In a rage, the deity sliced the river, creating the waterfalls and condemning the lovers to an eternal fall.
Iguacu National Park, Brazil, late afternoon,17.54 pm.
The wild waters of the Iguazu Falls have been tamed on this photograph by using long exposure. It feels like a very calm moment at sunset, although the sound of water must have been deafening.
