[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Waterberg Plateau east of Otjiwarongo towers over the surrounding plains, being about 200 meters higher. The 20 kilometer wide and 50 kilometer long table mountain massif consists of porous sandstone. Rainwater trickles through the permeable stone and collects on top of a impervious clay layer. Whilst the plateau is arid on top, there is a lot of surface water and strong permanent springs at the foot of the mountain. The vegetation is, therefore, quite lush and green and diverse. One can, for example, find wild fig trees, fire lillies and coral trees. The area is also rich in fauna. - www.namibia-travel.net

Bonjour Olga,
Que de souvenirs de ce merveilleux pays ! Belle composition et bien le sol soit un peu sombre il existe quand même de nombreux détails.

Hey Olga,
Lovely picture with beautiful sun rays that make for a somewhat dramatic photo. I also like the contrast between the trees and the sky. Excellent POV & composition. Congratulations!!! TFS
