My mistake:
The photo was really photographed by @madm3xx. I researched and found a photo that looked almost like this one. Unfortunately, I did not research well enough and did not exactly compare the photos and therefore falsely accused @madm3xx. I am very sorry to have called sources.
Please ignore my comment below and also the comment from sources.
Copy/Paste is the wrong way to succeed here. Please tell your !sources
This is my photo. There are probably a billion people or more who have photographed this famous waterfall! This is not plagiarism! Kind of funny that I am being accused for it 😄
Or does someone actually own the right of photographing this particular waterfall?? 😄✌️
I hope you believe me when I say I have found a photo which looked nearly exact the same - even the big leaves on the left side were there. I must admit, I should have done a deeper research, but I was so annoyed today because of people doing copy/paste without giving attribution that I thought you were the next and acted to fast.
So please accept my apologize and my upvote. I will tell the other one to do so too.
All good :)
You have to keep in mind that famous places like this are photographed in every possible angle, sometimes maybe even 1000 times per minute, if the place is busy. Everywhere in the world the amount of visitors visiting famous places and taking photos grows daily and will continue to grow rapidly considering 220 000 new people on this planet everyday. This waterfall is so beautiful!! but it would be even way more enjoyable if there where less people taking photos of everything . Places like this have become a bucket list thing; been there, seen that, done that). Some people actually forget to enjoy while they are there, in that moment, and only think about the photos they have to take to post or show to friends and gather the likes of recognition. Globalization and digitalization are very noticeable. It’s very obvious that the amount of people traveling and seeing famous places like this is growing constantly. In a sociological point of view one could say that today we are living in a society that is searching for experiences (book: erlebnisgesellschaft, experience society, Gerhard Schulze) while needing the recognition (book: Anerkennungsgesellschaft; recognition society, Axel Honneth) of others. Therefore the increased amount of photos of famous places. But sadly while the amount of visitors and photos have increased the presence for enjoying places like this in the moment has decreased. Sociologist Hartmut Rosa argues in his book (Beschleunigungsgesellschaft; Acceleration Society) that everything is driven towards an increase of capital. Be it monetary capital, social capital, knowledge/education capital, experience capital and so on. from the speed of our internet to the speed of transportation, or communication, business profits, new models of smartphones, TVs etc... everything is about more; faster, quicker, more efficient. So Many people believe more is better. Meaning a 2 week vacation can be spent jetting around the world to take a quick look at many different places to hack it of the bucket list; been there, seen that, done that... You can see it if you look at the tours that get offered in many country’s, which consists out of up to 10 activities in one day, sightseeing on speed dial. Hartmut Rosa describes the problem of this way of life pretty well in his book about Resonanz (beschleunigungsgesellschaft; acceleration society, Dr. Hartmut Rosa). In short happiness is not having, or experiencing more quantity, happiness is about the authentic quality. Taking a photo after looking/appreciating a place is great, but some people sometimes forget to enjoy a famous/beautiful places and look pretty much only through the camera Linse.
Just some short thoughts on why there might be billions of photos of this waterfall or any famous place 😄
OK, now it's getting serious 😉
I am still very sorry for my mistake and have certainly learned from it. And as punishment I have read your comment word for word and after doing so I must admit, that what you are writing is true.
Sure, Kind of a big subject 😄 just scratched the surface ;)
but Jeah.. sadly this pattern is not healthy for humanity. But there are also many people out there who know better ;) and I am optimistic that it can change over time.. every individual for them self. Everyone one of us are a mirror for society an influence others with our beahaviour and actions. Everyone of us projects the normality which way to act in the world. The kollektive is made out of each one of the us. Individual change therefore matters and forms kollektive Transformation . Now in times of the digital revolution we need ethics more than ever. We need to learn to appreciate life all together on this planet. Citizens of the world. We shouldn’t be used by technology we need to find a healthy way to to use technological advance as a tool to surve us all

I would also like to apologize and should not have acted without thinking just because someone else did not research exactly enough, even though he is a trusted friend.
