Un bello paisaje del Kruger... que siempre disfrutamos por sus animales y nos olvidamos de la belleza de su entorno.
Gran colorido en esta composicion con muy buen encuadre y variados niveles de profundidad.

In my life, I certainly did hundreds of sunseets or sunrises. I'm, like many others, facinated by our star.
It's why I love this one so much. Great picture. I love the different level of those mountains, and, obviously...this wonderfull sky. ******

I'm shooting this one down:) I've seen your original (big) one. Even though this one is a real beauty, having seen the original spoilt me! Stunning capture and I love it.

Thanks for posting

Incredible shot and composition Callie! The depth of the steppingstones create an amazin atmosphere in the capture. And those clouds in the sun just gives the perfect touch to the shot.

I am so jealous.. when i lived in SA i didnt have a camera, and I havent seen sunsets like this in Europe..

Love IT !!
