@@Soukous that karibia shot looks like a scene straight out of Waterworld.

 

do you mean the awful Kevin Costner film? @@Kitsafari

@@Soukous it was a terrible movie. A dud.

 

It's jus that your picture made me think that will be what a flooded abandoned world will look like. It's hauntingly beautiful.

Four Rivers, Okavango. One of the most beautiful spots I've ever seen.

What's The Point

We see a lot of sunrises, as we're always ready to go before the sun is up ! Africa is no place to be having late mornings in bed.

These are a couple of my favourites. (All handheld)

What's The Point

@@Game Warden - That first one was one of the most insane things I have ever seen. I was expecting a choir of angels to appear and start sing at any second !

Dreaming of Africa from my window, new years morning. Very Africa like.

 

I know, we are in the bush of Virginia, so this is a " Dreaming Africa Sunrise"

Usually the oystermen are sailing by on the way to work....love it.

You are way kind; but yes it is our little world of sunrises most every day. Very addicting as well.

 

You are most welcome as are any ST'rs if anytime on the east coast - in Virginia on Chesapeake Bay, not too terribly far from Washington DC.

 

We love company esp. if they talk Africa! :D

These photos are absolutely spectacular!! Here are a couple of mine, from the mangroves around the village of Akwidaa near Cape Three Points, Ghana.
