Bob - You wouldn't know which way to turn to shoot. Just too much here at the best of times.
And of course you are welcome!

One day a phoyographer will be born who has a better understanding of depth of field than you Elsa.

But I suspect the world will have to wait a long time...

To me, they are all beautiful!

Beautiful images Elsa!

A trip to SA is still on my list of things to do.  One day I hope to get there while I can still see and take pictures.

The second one is lovely, but all others are great landscapes with the accents unique to SA.

Lovely series, second one stands out for me. I found it the most interesting graphically, point of view, character (s), body language and intention, horizontal natural view and subdvision. I feel I can relate to their attitude towards the scenery :)

Thank you Golunvolo - there is something in that one that attracted me too obviously. a Bum shot is sometimes just the best shot :)

Wow. It's wild animal butt day. I guess they weren't very cooperative (?).

Looks like a great place to visit and thank you for the nice images,
