Have you ever driven through a Waterfall?

abh12345 (76) in dtube • 7 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone!

Today we started our exploration of Reunion Island, and what a beautiful place it is!

No wonder the French were keen to settle here. This island, containing an active volcano is packed with greenery and 100's of waterfalls, and you can see just some in the pictures and the short video uploaded today.

You Pisse where?!

La Pisse en l'air, which literally means 'The piss in the air' (See, the French do have a sense of humour!) is around 20 kilometers inland from the north-east coast and we had the fortune to drive through it twice today.

Most waterfalls aren't within touching distance, but this one is like a high-speed car-wash - you just drive straight through! The observant may spot the rainbow shining through a small waterfall to the left just before impact - sweet!

As today's theme is water, here are a couple more photos of the amazing scenery, including a couple of us 'getting in the way' :)

_{Eyes on the road driver!}

_{Yes, but just look at the scenery!}

_{Shall we stop by the river?}

_{Waterfalls everywhere!}

Look out for a blog by @osm0sis later today with more on this beautiful Island which we are so lucky to be staying on.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Hi Asher, Another amazing sight with full of amazing green trees, in fact huge trees and the zig-zag road is reminding me of my school trip to hill station back in 2012 from my university.

I am wondering why there is no music while driving guys :P i can't drive without music ;)

I have followed @osm0sis and looking forward to her blog as well, by they way she is a perfect driver too, literally ;)

P.S: Waterfall scene is so beautiful My Friend

Stay Blessed Friends

Steem On!

abh12345 (76) · 7 years ago

Hi Salman, yes it was a great drive and short hike today - luckily I was the passenger so plenty of time to look out the window at the amazing sights :)

No music, a good point - but we wanted to be heard and for the water hitting the car to be heard also!

I think @osm0sis will be finished in a few hours, her average blog time is 5-9 hours though so don't hold your breath!

Thanks for the kind comments as always,

Steem on!

Oh this is a valid point indeed

we wanted to be heard and for the water hitting the car to be heard also!

I am sure her focus must be on Quality so that's why she takes her time to upload the stuff :)

Stay Blessed you both <3

abh12345 (76) · 7 years ago

Yes you are correct there. Quality not quantity for sure!

Thanks and you also :)

teamsteem (74) · 7 years ago

Pisse en l'air! I think that's what your gf said. That road is pretty crazy!

Yes things have improved as the week has progressed, we still don't have a plan for the coming month, but when you have today, why worry about that!

Thank you!

greenrun (66) · 7 years ago

I always like to try new thing, heck, even a walk on the wild side every once in a while. At least to have to have some authentic stories to tell the children unborn :)

abh12345 (76) · 7 years ago

Tales for the future is one way to look at these days for sure. Thanks as always @greenrun

Looks exotic buddy, are you all moved in? I remember you saying a few months back you were moving here, if I'm not mistaken. Love the lush green scenery

abh12345 (76) · 7 years ago

Exotic it sure is! The plants and the animals, from multicolored birds to those creepy cockroach things!

Currently cheap hoteling it while we work out what to do next. Cheers!

haha piss in the air! i like that you mentioned that the french do have a sense of humor :)

i never have driven under a waterfall, but i always count them as some of the most magical places i've been! you both look bright and happy! the negative ions around waterfalls are soo uplifting... i was inspired to do a little research, lol! here's a few stats about them from here...

Normal fresh air has about 2-3000 negative ions per cubic centimetre (the size of a sugar cube) but around a waterfall or by the ocean the count can be in the tens of thousands!

But in a waterfall, the collision of the water molecules (which comprise oxygen and hydrogen atoms) strips electrons from the oxygen in the water allowing them to accumulate in the oxygen atoms in the surrounding air. This creates electrically charged particles called ions, some positively charged – those oxygen atoms in the water with fewer electrons than normal – others with a negative charge – those oxygen atoms in the air with more electrons than normal. The same thing happens in the surf, during a thunderstorm and even in your shower – the water becomes positively charged as the surrounding air acquires a negative charge.

So cool! Let's get those negative ions :)

abh12345 (76) · 7 years ago

Excellent!

We actually visited More waterfalls and a
Lake surrounded by volcanic hills with waterfalls today, more on that from myself or @osm0sis soon!

Thanks for the positive energy!

Hi Asher, what amazing place, looks very similar to the waterfalls we have here in Brazil but with a different touch, different plants. Very cool, these mountains sights on the road are beautiful ! Have fun man! o/

abh12345 (76) · 7 years ago

Thank you!

I'd love to see some of Brazil one day - maybe Steem can power us over there 😁

lpessin (61) · 7 years ago

I'm sure it can ;)

When you come, reserve enough time, there are many places to meet and the country is huge, hehe

Cool waterfall! Are going to relocate to Reunion Island?
