EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1927, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Victoria Falls, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Zambezi River, in its untamed glory, plunges over a cliff, creating a magnificent curtain of water that stretches over a kilometer wide. The falls are seen from the edge of the lush rainforest, teeming with life and vibrant colors. Victoria Falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya or "The Smoke that Thunders," has been a source of awe and inspiration for centuries. Indigenous people from the Tonga and Lozi tribes have long revered the falls as a sacred site. European explorers, including the famous Scottish missionary and explorer, David Livingstone, first discovered the falls in 1855. The photograph captures the raw power and majesty of nature, with the mist rising high into the sky, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The rainforest, with its lush greenery and diverse wildlife, adds to the enchanting scene. The historical significance of this place is evident, as it has been a source of inspiration for travelers and adventurers for generations. The Victoria Falls is not only a natural wonder but also a symbol of unity between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls straddle the border between the two countries, and the shared heritage of this magnificent site is a testament to the rich cultural and historical ties between the people of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
