near the Niary River in Congo-Brazzaville.</h1> <p> by <a href="/user/Tectonicstressfield2025/"><strong>Hongyuan Zhang</strong></a> </p> <div itemprop="description" class="hyphens"><p>The waterfall is located upstream on the southern tributary of the Niary River. This waterfall is spectacular, cascading down and nourishing the lush green moss; karst caves can be seen on the rock walls. In the hot summer, it offers a refreshing escape. The valley where the waterfall is situated is also very untouched, with exquisite sedimentary structures such as ripples and bedding visible along the way, giving a sense of adventure.</p></div> </div> <div id="comments"> <form method="get" action="/login/"><input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="6jtzoRPU3EIiqxHQGbn9GAck3xuD7sOnfnuNdm5GIZ5KLRTQLzsUyhYL8vVNRaeG"> <fieldset> <input type="hidden" name="next" value="/view/18861/"> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default pull-right" data-username="">Login to Comment</button> </fieldset> </form> </div> </div> <div id="right"> <h4>Category</h4> <ul> <li><a href="/category/geomorphology/">Geomorphology (1399)</a></li> </ul> <h4>Location</h4> <div itemprop="contentLocation" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Place"> <meta itemprop="name" content="Africa, Middle Africa, Congo"> <ul> <li><a href="/region/africa/">Africa (366)</a></li> <li><a href="/region/middle-africa/">Middle Africa (15)</a></li> <li><a href="/region/congo/">Congo (2)</a></li> <li itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/GeoCoordinates"><a title="See exact location on the map" href="/map/?lat=-4.405833&lon=13.805556">Exact location</a> (13.8056 E, -4.4058 S) <meta itemprop="latitude" content="-4.405833"> <meta itemprop="longitude" content="13.805556"> <meta itemprop="hasMap" content="/map/?lat=-4.405833&lon=13.805556"> </li> </ul> </div> <h4>Colours</h4> <div id="colors" class="indent"> <a href="/color/333333/" title="#333333 - 26%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="45" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#333333" /></svg></a><a href="/color/333300/" title="#333300 - 12%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="44" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#333300" /></svg></a><a href="/color/FFFFFF/" title="#FFFFFF - 10%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#FFFFFF" /></svg></a><a href="/color/000000/" title="#000000 - 7%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="34" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#000000" /></svg></a><a href="/color/666666/" title="#666666 - 7%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="34" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#666666" /></svg></a><a href="/color/666633/" title="#666633 - 5%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="30" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#666633" /></svg></a><a href="/color/003300/" title="#003300 - 4%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="28" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#003300" /></svg></a><a href="/color/336633/" title="#336633 - 4%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="28" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#336633" /></svg></a><a href="/color/999999/" title="#999999 - 3%"><svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 100 100" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="26" stroke="#ccc" stroke-width="2" fill="#999999" /></svg></a> </div> <hr> <h4>Image properties</h4> <p class="indent"> <a href="/width/2736/" itemprop="width">2736</a> × <a href="/height/3648/" itemprop="height">3648</a> px;
