The only falls I could find this past long weekend as a last minute entry:
1 Marble Baths with the Greater Injisuthi Buttress in the background.
2 Injisuthi River with Leslies Pass ridge line in the background.
3 A pool high up the Injisuthi river en route to Injisuthi Pass with The Old Woman Grinding Corn in the distance.

Coming down Leslies Pass earlier this year, looking right towards Injisuthi pass, saw this beautiful and unique split waterfall:

After some voting among the moderators/VE advisory group, I am pleased to announced the winner. It was ghaznavid's Tugela shot - congratulations! The photo did justice to these legendary falls, and I thought the clarity and colours were good too. Thank you very much to all that participated, I was pleased with the quality and amount of entries. It certainly helps keep the gallery populated with worthy images of the Berg.

Thanks Intrepid, Mods and Advisory team

The aspect of that hike that no photo will ever capture is the noise of the waterfall that day. I've seen Tugela Falls many times, but never like that. Standing at the top of the falls and watching the water projected far from the lip out into space. It was still very loud from the opposite side of the Amphitheatre. Absolutely incredible to witness.
