Photographer's Note
I have noticed that I have posted only 4 photos of Iguazu waterfalls. So I jump into my archive.
These waterfalls are for me maybe the most magnificent place in the world. I saw other big waterfalls like Niagara and Victoria, also marvellous like Plitvice or some waterfall in Iceland but nothing can be compared to Iguazu.
When visiting waterfalls, it is important to choose the right moment. The best is after the rainy season when there is a lot of water. But if there is too much water it is also not so good because the view is obscured by the mist. In Iguazu, it was just perfect.
Iguazu is on the border of Brazil and Argentina. So which side to choose? From the Brazilian side, there is just one way with a few platforms with terrific views. On the Argentinian side, there are longer pathways. The best is to visit both :).
Also, like in the case or Niagara and Victoria - the river flows slowly on the flat area and then suddenly meets the abyss.
See also two Workshop pictures, all in a large format.
Jorge has it just rounds the corner (what is 500 km?) :).

Hi Malgo,
You have captured well the power of the waterfalls. The point of view is showing the details of the Iguazu waterfalls. The light is giving good colors rendering. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo,
You chose a very well angle we get almost a view about the completely waterfall.
Also a nice contrast picture.
Sharp and clear presentation.
An excellent composition.
Very well done, TFS.
Best regards,
John.

Hello Malgo,
Victoria was fine enough for me. I noticed that it was a bit difficult to get a perfect exposure of the rapidly falling water in the bright sunshine, so I am impressed by what you managed here. All these big and famous waterfalls have become out of reach for me, so I will keep Victoria falls among my sweet memories. ;-) And I saw them from both sides, didn't just take a photo across the border. ;-) Crossing the border on the famous bridge was actually the best experience.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Malgo,
I still remember these coatis very well. Not afraid of people, they jumped on anyone who presumably had food.
You're right to visit these falls on both sides of the border.
You can make a lot of beautiful walks. It is certainly not an area that you visit very quickly.
I remember that there were also helicopter flights, but they were above my budget at the time.
Having always lived in a small country, I think 500 km is a huge distance :)
When I was there, the catwalk to the Devil's Throat was broken. Could you go there?
Best regards, Paul

Hello Malgo,
It is just a pity that there is no audio with such photographs!
However, I think we can imagine the noise at such a spot!
The details of the cascading torrents and the rising mist are surely amazing!
I like the w/s view, too, where the clouds seem to be merging with the rising mist!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Just "watefall"...?
The mighty Iguacu falls from a close view point, stunning and imposing sight.
I guess the water roar notably heard from this spot.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Malgo, an amazing sight, it is vast.
You obviously had the best of both worlds seeing the falls from both sides.
I like the workshop shot as you took a shot from a much lower POV.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Hello Malgo,
A fantastic photo overlooking the impressive waterfalls and the mist that rises up from the centre. I like the soft subdued light and also the white clouds in the blue sky make a good backdrop.

Bonjour, chθre Malgo,
Non, non, ce n'est pas les chutes du Niagara ! Mais, c'est encore plus beau, plus extraordinaire, de quoi installer une unitι de production ιlectrique avec les mouvements de l'eau.
La beautι assourdissante !
Amitiιs.

Hi Malgo,
A dramatic view of the majestic waterfall. The photo shows the size and power of the falls: water seems to be coming from all directions. This spot is right in the middle of the action.

Hi Malgo
A terrific view of the awe inspiring Iguazu Falls with the thundering cascades shrouding the forest below in fine mist. Tfs!

Hi Malgorzata
Absolutely amazing waterfalls of such magnitude and I fully agree with your statement. Wow! Brazilian Niagra sort of, the scale of this seems huge and a good pov to capture their majesty with strong foreground base. What we miss here is the sound of thunder of that water. It's gorgeous,
Best regards

malgo
this is my home! haha.
tudo bem, minha casa de verdade fica a 500 km dali, mas ι no meu estado. de certa forma as demais atraηυes turνsticas do PR acabam sendo esquecidas por causa das cataratas. a geologia e a natureza, as αrvores e animais e a cor da terra sγo as mesmas da minha cidade. atι o cheiro do rio ι igualzinho.
gostei mais do ϊltimo WS, mas as trκs fotos sγo boas. uma pena que destruνram a maior catarata do mundo, chamada de 7 quedas e que eu visitei em 1983, poucos dias antes do fim. essa catarata ficava mais prσxima de minha casa e tinha muito mais αgua que as cataratas q vc visitou, mas as quedas nγo eram tγo altas, mas ainda assim magnνficas.
abraηo

Your outstanding wide view of this geographic oddity probably provoked 'gooseflesh' allover your body, given the greatness of the premises which are throwing mist up to the sky and then down to the abyss for a thrilling mood, transforming itself into hellish down below!
Very exciting and much instructive view!
Pozdrawiam
