Heart shaped?

OK, Auyantepui is the mountain/plateau, not the waterfall, and looks heart shaped from above.
The waterfall is Angel Falls, named after a bush pilot who crashed on Auyantepui.

Well not like a real heart but like our ridiculous drawings of them. You don't see it?

See it? No. I see the waterfall, and a map of Venezuela which I guess is sort of heart shaped. But it's Auyantepui, the mountain/plateau that's supposed to be heart shaped, and I can't find a picture of that.

Oh wait, here it is. This is the mountain/plateau. I've put an arrow to Angel Falls.

Oh shit, I put up the wrong pic I didn't mean to do that one.

No problem, I'm a little slow, but I've got it now.

I fixed it so now you look like the dumbass, ha!

another view of Angel Falls

Auyantepui is the name of the flat-topped mountain they call a tepui, Angel Falls is the waterfall (tallest in the world) shown here cascading from the top of the tepui. Here's another shot of it I took a couple years ago:

Awesome! Welcome to the Cellar!

I thought that place looked familiar.



The heart-warming tale of UP, Pixar's latest 3D animation film about Mr Fredricksen, an old man who takes a balloon-powered flight in his house to South America, was inspired by locations just as magical and remote as those created in the film.

Angel Falls in Venezuela, the world's highest waterfall, which rises 979 m (3,212 ft) with a drop of about 807m (2,647 ft)... ..are clearly the inspiration for Paradise Falls, the location that Mr Fredricksen and his beloved Ellie dream of during the film.
