18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Wei Sawdong Falls Top
This image shows the top tier of the wei sawdong falls, that is located close to the town of Sohra, Meghalaya. The NE Indian state of Meghalaya is geologically formed of volcanic rocks, sandstone, and limestone largely. The state gets its name from the presence of clouds, where Meghalaya means "Abode of Clouds". And naturally, where there is cloud there will eventually be rain. It is also home to the wettest place on earth - Cherrapunjee or locally known as Sohra. The water cuts and dissolves the geologic formations to give shape to numerous rapids and waterfalls.
