I was all shot out and after deciding I'd rather watch the sand grouse than shoot them I sat on the back of thebakie and watched the sun go down with a cold one. Can't think of a better last evening to the safari.

Not particularly good, but it was taken right after the first airplane struck the Twin Towers.

I think Namibia has some of the prettiest. Seems the winds from the coast keeps things blown out, and the skies are nice every night.







Reminds me of our own desert Southwest.

Chewore sunset over the Zambezi River



Zambian Sunset over the Luangwa River



Sunset over Porga Concession in Benin



On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

My thanks to everyone for reminding me of a tropical sunset (something I haven't seen in years} I always used to make it a point to tell people unfamiliar with an African sunset that immediately afterwards -that it is dark-and I mean dark! The contrast of the two seems to emphasize the beauty of the sunset itself. (It has been surprising (to me anyway) how many people I've spoken to are interested to hear that there is no twilight in the tropics) Anyway, again my thanks for reminding me of another of Africa's beautiful images.

Sundowner Rock Lemco. On the last day of our hunt our PH Wayne Williamson and our friends Rick & Kathi Klimes PH Terry Fynn took us to a place called Sundowner Rock for our last sunset and the rise of the Full Harvest Moon. Wish we had pictures of that, we only had the video camera going, but it was unforgetable.

I'll have you know that after walking out of the Zambezi Gorge on Sunday, my girth has shrunk somewhat to a girth lesser than Al's. Big Grin

Dang, from Rapid 22, that's a long way up for an old, fat man of the far side of 60.

Check this out! video
