On my second day visiting the astounding Iguazu falls on the Brazilian side I was forced to change to my telephoto lens as my wide angle had been damaged by the water vapour. In had rained solid for 10 days prior to my arrival and so the falls were at their most spectacular. Standing on the elevated viewing platform I was able to shoot this school group who stood transfixed, emphasizing the incredible size of the falls. (Photo and caption by Ian Kelsall)

How the XXXX did they build that viewing platform?

And I feel a recipe for School Group Soup coming on.

Been there! It's so spectacular just that image is enough to give me goosebumps.

School groups are quite tricky to prepare Zen, so toxic on the exterior you wash under fast running water for at least 5 minutes before peeling. This also tenderizes the flesh. Then carefully remove the tough yellow outer.

They built it at low tide. Before global warming.

Might have been the waxed nuts that caused the leak.

Wow! What are the odds that so many people decided to wear yellow on the same day?

I dunno, probably some idiot has gone over that in a barrel. Probably died, though, so I guess you are right.
