During the December holidays, I reward myself with a few days of unwinding and savoring the dawn moments, I call “my quiet time”. Most days in South Africa are sunny, these days they seem sunnier than before. Probably the effects of global warming. This particular morning it was somehow more “special”

There was the unmistaken call of a Thick-knee plover or Kiewiet, which was oddly out of place, being mostly a nocturnal bird. Since it nests on the ground, as a defense system, it will shriek and start running around crazily, further and further away from its nest.
The Orange River river is South Africa’s main river. It is 2,090 km long and originates in the Maluti Mountains of Lesotho. It meanders northwest and west through South Africa and forms the SW boundary of South Africa and Namibia line before finally at the Namibian coastal town of Oranjemund, it enters the Atlantic Ocean at Oranjemund. In very dry years it does not reach the sea. Alluvial diamonds are mined At the mouth of the river.
Stunning capture indeed!
Wow this is stunning! Love the sunrises and sunsets.
Hello Carol, these shots are not my own but they are good, unfortunately, Natalie, said mine was just too small to work. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Looking at that beautiful picture, I imagine being there with you, enjoying the sunset and we are talking about life in depth.
Hello Albert, I could not have said it any better myself. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Dear friend Andre, You are always very much welcome
Amazing shot, that’s lovely!
Hi, MommyofEli2013, I’m glad you liked, I think most of us have a touch of “wanderlust” inside of us, a yearning to discover wild open places, If not, why is the global travel business such a boom industry? Thanks for commenting and reading.
Very good point…so true! I’d love to travel myself if it were possible. But no problem…really enjoyed!
good post and captivating nice sunset
Thank you, Jasmine, It is that more gorgeous in real life. Thank you for commenting.
