Angel Falls is the world’s highest waterfall, with a height of 1,054 m (3,458 ft) and a plunge of 807 m (2,648 ft). It’s the tallest waterfall in the world, drops nearly a kilometer (about 979m total drop with 807m freefall) from a table-top mountain known as Auyantepuy (or Auyantepui meaning “Mountain of the God of Evil” or “Devil’s Mountain”).The height of the fall is so great that before getting anywhere near the ground, much of the water is evaporated or carried away as a fine mist by the strong wind. Its existence seems like a paradox as it’s neither fed by conventional drainage sources such as snow/glacier melt, lakes, nor a major river system. Indeed, the abundance of water responsible for the falls is practically all rainfall from equatorial rainfall condensing onto the cloud forest above plateau of Auyantepui. It’s almost as if the clouds wring its water onto the tepui like a soaked rag.

“タランティーノ監督の現場は、「今のシーン、もう一回やってみよう！」となった時、監督が「なぜなら~」というと、スタッフが全員で「映画が大好きだからー！」と叫ぶらしい。素敵だ。” Twitter / takashika358: タランティーノ監督の現場は、「今のシーン、もう一回やってみよ … (via jtas)

“つけると妊婦の気持ちが分かる重りみたいなやつあるじゃないですか。あれと同じで死にたいと言う他人に命の尊さを説く人たちが同じくらい死にたくなる薬を開発してほしいですね。同じくらい死にたい状態で命の尊さが説けるのか見たいんですよ。たぶん死ぬと思んですけどね。” Twitter / onoholiday (via twinleaves)
