Photo of the Day (9/4/06)
Something about it being Labor Day and this huge crashing waterfall just felt right together. Caffeineguy took this one while wandering around South America somewhere. Brazil? Argentina? Not entirely sure, but it looks as if he was rather close to the waterfall's edge. Oh, and I can just hear the loud crashing sound from the falls. That's how alive this photo is! Good stuff.

Thats gotta be Iguazu Falls near the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.

Question is, as you mention Carl, which side is it? Argentina or Brazil?

Indeed, a perfect picture to emphasize the holiday.

Yes Carl,you're right this picture is Iguazu falls.I'm sure was taken from Brazilian's side in the narrow way douwn to the end.

It looks like Iguazu, but I thought the photo was taken from the Argentina's side.
Last time I went there water used to go from left to right when looking from Brazil and from right to left when lookng from Argentina. Maybe I should go back there and confirm.

It is the Argentine side and a photo of the "Devils Throat"

#6 is spot on. Definitely the Argentinian side of the falls, Brazil being to the left hand side of the picture. The photo was taken from the platform that overlooks the Devil's Throat.
