The colours of Namibia, a photo from Karas, South

Photographer's Note

The Quiver Tree Forest (Kokerboom Woud in Afrikaans) is a forest and a well-known tourist attraction of southern Namibia. It is located about 14 km north of Keetmanshoop.
It comprises about 250 specimens of Aloe Dichotoma, a species of aloe that is also locally known as "quiver tree" because bushmen use its branches to make quivers. The forest is spontaneous; the tallest quiver trees are two to three centuries old. The forest was declared a national monument of Namibia.

Hi Kris,
Nice contrast between the black trees and the luminous sky. Maybe a little lack of sharpness, or a lost of quality during compression.

Bonjour Kris

J'aime beaucoup cette composition. Les arbres sont magnifiques en ombres chinoises plantés bien droit devant ce magnifique coucher de soleil.

Amicalement

Hi Kris,
This was certainly a magical place and I remember the feeling when I was there standing amongst those impressive trees. I like your silhouette sunset version as it really shows the shape of these special trees well.
Regards
Wanda
