Last Sunrise over Africa for 2011

Well, technically it's not the last sunrise for 2011 - that will happen tomorrow morning - nor did I take these photos today. The images are from two weeks ago on the first leg of safari through four National Parks in Kenya.

    Hi there - I can’t make up my mind if the wires add or take away from the pictures. But they are an interesting set of pictures whatever I think!

    Have a good New Year.

    African skies have a certain orange tinge to them. Just lovely. Happy New Year.

    Wonderful, I can feel the heat rising with the sun.

    The portrait of the lion in your header epitomises Africa for me.

    Those thorn trees one finds in Africa really look exotic against the setting sun!
    Love the header, too!

    Jo, I loved the way you hid the sun among the thorn trees! It's breath-taking to actually have been there in the Mara and seen what you saw through your lenses.
