If we had been at Augrabies Falls at the beginning, not the end, of 2011 we would have encountered the falls in full flood. The photos below were taken in January 2011 and displayed at the information centre. Many of the observation platforms were washed away by the force of the water.
Just being at Augrabies under normal circumstances was awesome enough -- made me aware of my fragile humanity in the face and power of nature. But imagine being there during a flood like the one photographed below!!

Augrabies is a Khoi word that means "water that thunders"
