Scenes from Blyde River Canyon in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. Water carved out the beautiful rock formations in Bourke’s Luck Potholes through the centuries while the view from God’s Window allows one to see the ocean over a 1000km (621 miles) away on a clear day, where the air is so thin that you run out of breath just walking to the lookout point.

It gets its name because of the striking resemblance to a common type of hut used as a dwelling throughout rural South Africa. I took this photo in the mid-90’s with my trusty old 35mm camera, and had it scanned in much later. Hence the washed out look. Still one of the most beautiful parts of this country.

A giant moth in my back yard. This moth easily covers the entire palm of an average adult. Really amazing.

An African moon from my back yard. Taken with a less than professional camera. The second photo was the first time in my life that I ever noticed the full shape of the moon when it was still a crescent.
