Here's a one-handed phone shot from last week. The other hand was hanging on to a couple dog leashes!

Hard enough to shoot with a phone without some four-legged friends "helping". A very different landscape from the Namibian ones!

Here we are a few hundre km north of the Rand, into the Namib desert and the big dunes. You might be able to spot some cars parked down by the clusters of trees.

...another dune.

...and some more. These trees have been dead for centuries; I have seen estimates ranging from 600 to 900 years ago.

Great series

especially like this one with the dead tree. Too dry to decompose?

Lovely!

Yes, I suppose it's too dry. I know there can be quite heavy showers there, but they're few and far between, and if they come they come at the hottest time of year so that the water evaporates quickly.

Another one from Deadvlei

600-900 years is a long long time. Amazing. Great shot of it

Here's one from Zimbabwe. I found these trees fascinating, with their flat undesides. We saw several of them on our walks along the Zambezi.

...and here's why they have that look:

Posted a BW version of this over in the monochrome landscape thread, but for once I think I prefer the colour version.

Its from a very popular park and people practically take turns to take the shot. So the first one is hand held and I went back half hour later when it was less crowded to use the tripod on the second one

Well, it certainly is a very photogenic lump of rock

Very well captured - and a nice juxtaposition between the ever-changing city and the eternal mountains.
