The Meeting of the White & Blue Nile

I’ve been looking for decent pictures of this for a fairly long time. Still can’t find any but this is the best I’ve come across so far. Thanks Amjad!

The waters never mix and I was told both retain their own unique properties. It’s truly amazing! You have to be there to really see it.

Eyes & Thighs
