[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It's been some time since I posted here, bur now I'm back in the Netherlands for some time I have some time to look at my photos from Angola, this one i liked enough to put om my beloved TE.
On the way south from Luanda to Sumbe you'll pass along the coastside by this very peculiar landscape, which is called the 'Miradouro do Luna' , the Lunar Landscape.
I waited untill the sun set low enough to make the colours come out. 10 minutes later two corrupt policemen bribed me out of $ 20,- . That's Angola for 'ye...........

Hello Jan,
Fantastic formations and very interesting colours. You must have waited until exactly the right moment. I only wish I could have seen a larger photo.
Regards,
Gert

You have captured some marvellous colour here. Not bad for $20.
Cheers
Phil

Hello Jan
Truly weird and wonderful shapes and colours.
I am glad you have not gone OTT with the colour saturation, it is spectacular as it is.
Your waiting for the right moment paid off - but not, unfortunately, in the financial sense!
Best wishes Maggie
