Nearing the end of my trip for 2007 we stayed in a nice camp near the quiver tree forest .. a full moon provided lots of great photo ops.

Hi Don,
Amazing types of trees....probably only found in that part of the world.....but they provide a great silhouetted shape against the night sky. The moon has provided you with just enough light to work with, and has given that lovely purple/blue sky. The image seems to lack clarity, but I suppose that's difficult to get right in the difficult light conditions. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hi Don,

I've never seen a night shot of the so called "Kokerboom"! Nice and well done. If you want, you can submit yours also to Britta's gallery here http://www.kokerboom.net/ , like I did with mine:

Thanks,
Pascal

I quite like your photo, for the good blue hour light and also the pleasant composition. The trees look impressive and the silhouette against the dark sky is nice. Well done.
I am planning a trip to Namibia for next year. Any recommendation you can make?

Beautiful colors, perfect composition, crisp and and clear!
Love that kind of of night photographs!

Hi Don!

The colors are amazing, the small full moon and the particular trees give the impression to be in another planet (it reminds me "Space 1999"... an old telefilm).
