      You summed up pretty much the reasons why we return to the Kruger National Park time after time Aian!

   One day… one day I will capture a baobab of my own. Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

      The baobabs are truly iconic of Africa and I’m sure your patience will be richly rewarded when your opportunity comes. Welcome here Vic!

   Stunning shot of the sun setting and the silhouettes of nature. This image reminds me of the scenes from The Lion King 😀

   Sunsets (and sunrises) always come with many extraordinary contrast concepts: color and silhouettes, light and shadow, day and night; excellent choice and better capture!

    I love your picture, it’s such a “Contrast” to the environment that I’m so used too here on Vancouver Island.
    What I wouldn’t do to trade places for a week, month or year!

       Thank you Ladybuggz!

       We know we’re blessed to live in a beautiful country with so much going for it (and SA has its share of social and environmental problems too, but then again, what country doesn’t?)

    Been away from Kruger National Park, too long. This sunset reminds me of a similar one I experienced, standing beside the jeep drinking a G&T.
