QUEEN VICTORIA’S WATERFALL

Victoria Falls are named after the British Queen Victoria, whose missionary and explorer David Livingstone became the first European who saw the falls in 1885. This became the official name for the falls in 1931 when this region was under British colonial rule. In the vicinity of the waterfall there is a city of Livingston, who was named after the celebrated Scottish researcher. These are probably the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. They are on the Zambezi River, the fourth river by length in Africa. It is 2650 kilometres long and located on the border of southern Zambia and north western Zimbabwe, in southern central Africa.

Giant Sun Installation at Trafalgar Square, London

This ʻbrilliantʼ artwork was commissioned by Tropicana (PepsiCo) to support their current advertising campaign. Art collective Greyworld created the spectacular sun which was raised over Trafalgar Square early this morning as part of Tropicana’s “Brighter Mornings” campaign.

Created by Greyworld and taking over six months to create, the manufactured sun is 30,000 times bigger than a football, has a surface area of 200m2 and weighs over 2,500kgs. Its internal light source produces the equivalent of 60,000 lightbulbs, 4-million lumens of light.

Still it’s no match for the actual sun but who doesn’t love a little extra light now and then? Especially in Winter when it’s so dark all the time.
