Glowing Mushroom Rock


The last rays of the sun play over the sandstone cliffs of Golden Gate
in the Free State

While there has not yet been opportunity here in Khartoum to take photos of pretty scenes, I'll continue to use images captured while motorcycling through our beautiful South Africa last month.

    Thanks Joan;) we do have beautiful sunsrises and sunsets in Africa.

    The colours were so warm, Sunny. I couldn't resist this shot.

    Thanks Gaelyn;) this is in the Golden Gate National Park and the Mushroom Rock is the cliff we had to negotiate straight down without a path on our hike during Easter. Doesn't look at all menacing in this light, does it? I have added a caption to the photo!

    Hi Tom;) the sandstone cliffs in our part of South Africa are beautiful and warmlooking.

    Hi Betsy;) Isn't blogging super We get to share our travels and the beautiful places we visit in our respective countries. Bless you
