North Island / New Zealand / 2007
Volume of water flowing through the rock face amounts to 220,000 litres per second; enough to fill one Olympic sized swimming pool in 11 seconds.

The shape of this waterfall is very strange. I wonder if they do rafting on it ? Or is it too dangerous ? The most powerful waterfall I’ve ever visited was Dettifoss in Iceland, and it’s roughly about 500 000 liters/second
This was something I was thinking myself. All these lovely, crazy people with these adventurous sport activities. One of them will take a surf board and will go for it. But the motion of the water is extremely fast. I hope nobody will risk his/her life.
If you fell in the water, it must feel like hitting a stone I bet. Sounds really scary.
I was to write the same as Fragglerocking, I love the colour of the water. Beautiful contrast between the power of the water and the pacific clouds and forest. Thanks Reinhold.
Greetings, Francis.
You could hear, feel and smell the force of that water. NZ at it’s best. Thanks, Francis. Greetings from the North. Reinhold
definitely a force to be reckoned with! Love the colour of the water.
You could feel and hear the force standing on that bridge. Thanks for stopping by.

Really like the way the movement of the water is captured in this shot. Order in chaos.
Thanks, standing on that bridge I felt really small. You could hear, feel and smell the forces of nature. All the best, Reinhold
I would imagine so… =P
