While continuing along thoughts of proximity, these pictures show a stark change in both angle and mood. But regardless of the change in perspective of the Foz do Iguacu, neither angle is contradicting to it's greatness in size. You can still tell that the Foz are a huge phenomenon even though in one picture they take up considerably less space on the frame in the wide angle shot. This is yet another case study in proximity and portraying a felt distance in the photographer's movement through a scene and expressing that story from a flat image.
These views are from a fantastic hiking trail that weaves in and out of both Brazil and Argentina. Moving our group and thousands of other frantic tourists and awestruck spectators from heights above to the very thundering base of the waterfalls, it was an amazing day. The roar from the center, La Garganta del Diablo (the throat of the devil), is still one of the most intense places to be around. It reminds onlookers of mere humanity and its limitations within the natural element. Proposing that from our small stance, there is something even greater than what can be created with blueprints and skyscrapers.
