View from Sera Cafema, Namibia accross the Kunene River into southern Angola. This is about as remote as one can get on this planet!

Thanks for viewing,
MIKE

Mike,

delightfully rich colour and good composition - nice shot.

Azzo, Stuart, Henri,Gunnar & John- Thank you very much for your comments, really appreciated!. I was sifiting through some slides and found this one, which I had misfiled.

Post processed with Mac's Aperture2, which I downloaded yesterday on a trial basis. I think I will buy it, still can't figure out how to resize photos.....something I'm missing..........?? It's so much easier to "save for web" on PS.
Thanks again.

MIKE,

I've never seen anything like this. Beautiful photograph. The tiny line of lushness on the edge of the river knocked my off my feet.

Al- The Kunene River's source is in the central Angolan highlands approx. 1, 000 kilometres from this spot and the river comes rushing through this barren & desolate landscape and empties out into the Atlantic.

This has got to be one of the most amazing sights I've ever seen. So you have strip along the river, a lush oasis which supports a variety of wildlife, elephant, giraffe, lion, leopard and a number of antelope species.
Thanks for the comments.
