South Africa Photos

[drplokta]

Bandwidth is pretty limited in South Africa, so I can't upload all 2000+ photos taken so far to Flickr, but here are a few of the best, behind cut-tags. They're not all birds.

Yzerfontein beach -- this is where James & Simoné's wedding was, a bit further up the beach and out of town.


James & Simoné with Simoné's family -- on the beach after the wedding.

The (upside-down) Moon, shining on the reception in the evening (check out the large version)


Kite-surfer in Langebaan, where we were staying


Kite in the air in Langebaan


Tortoise in the West Coast National Park (which is between Yzerfontein and Langebaan)


Very scary Yellow Canary in Geelbek restaurant in the West Coast National Park. You get half a dozen of these on your table stealing your food. This photo is not cropped at all -- it's the original framing. Look at the full-size version for the full horror.

How beautiful -- the place and the creatures too.

re: Scary canary
Don't know if it would be scarier this way, with the feet in crisp focus or with those menacing eyes in even more detail.

I think it would be less scary fried in batter.

Nasty looking bird. And I thought yellow jackets were bad....

That Double-Collared whatsit is quite lovely!
