The Kariba Dam is a hydroelectric dam in the Kariba Gorge of the Zambezi river basin between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The dam stands 128 metres (420 ft) tall and 579 metres (1,900 ft) long. The dam forms Lake Kariba which extends for 280 kilometres (170 mi) and holds 185 cubic kilometres (150,000,000 acre·ft) of water.

 

These pictures were taken Novemeber of last year during my holiday. I felt like a dwarf standing next to this  monstrous  fete of human power. I hung my camera over the edge to capture the drop, don't get vertigo looking at the pictures.
