Notes
Like any storm over water, the Kariba storms can sometimes be downright sinister. You don't want to be caught out on the water when an unexpected storm spawns legions of angry waves intent on swamping any unwary boats. Kariba's ubiquitous submerged trees add to the malign atmosphere of the storm in this shot.
I am currently in Italy with my girlfriend and family to celebrate the New Year and, incidentally, the Kariba dam was built by an Italian company called Impresit. Just a bit of worthless trivia that occurred to me as I considered what to write about this image!
On the topic of the new year, happy New Year to you. If you're an obsessed photographer such as myself, happy shooting on 2010!

Great blog. Informative and some lovely shots. I teach photography and I'll definitely be recommending this blog to my students who are always asking me about good photography websites!

Does anyone remember the movie "Waterworld" with Kevin Costner? This picture looks amazing.

Wooow, was my first thought. Those sparse trees darting up out of the landscape are incredible. You have an amazing eye.
