The Birds Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

We went to a wedding this week in Cape town, and the next day we decided to visit the Kirstenboch botanical gardens, which is a world heritage sight.
It was a overcast day and as we were walking along I saw these two Hadedah birds up in this tree. I thought that it looks like an ink print.

So its SA now! Nice image of the tree with its branches splashed all over the screen and the two birds whose name I have heard for the first time!!!! Nevertheless the overcast weather adds to the value of the image and gives it an abstract colours.

Interesting, chinese painting like shot. Kirstenboch is a great place that I really enjoyed on various occasions. So beautiful, so colourful with such unusual varieties of plants. Maybe someday you should post some colour shot of the place.
