The Caldeirão Verde waterfall during a really heavy downpour, which was probably one of the most tropically impressive views in Madeira, Portugal. 🇵🇹 This waterfall is 100 meters high, and the water flows into a huge basin. My entire photo equipment was totally soaked, miraculously nothing was damaged!
Nothing special, but I like the neon highlights of the refracted light and the noise, which looks like high iso but it's just water mist from the waterfall - The Lagoa do Vento Waterfall (Levada das 25 Fontes) Madeira, Portugal 🇵🇹
This image was captured in a section of Grand Canyon National Park called North Canyon. There are many smaller canyons in The Grand Canyon and one of them is North Canyon.
We hiked up North Canyon from the Colorado River. About a mile or so up the canyon we came to this pool.
This image is a natural abstract created by erosion over millions of years.

YES!
Europeans, used to a European model of land usage, arrived in the Western Hemisphere and didn't recognize that the woodlands and grasslands of North America and the rain forests of South America were not wildernesses, but managed lands.
