Hi Phil,

Great shot Sir

A fine looking lizard and nice to see in its natural habitat rather than a recycled fish tank in someone's lounge

Stunning sunrise Phil, certainly worth getting up for early doors

Nice pic Phil. This is a special time of day.

I seem to get more sunsets that sunrises. May be due to getting up early

.

I remember a good while ago I used to go fishing at 4.00 in the morning. The sunrise, mist on the water and dawn chorus are still in my memory.

Thanks Paul. I do not know if it is now too late or not in the season for you to revisit the sunrise shots with the early morning mist by the river or in the country side. Wonderful to see. Yes please

We are + 2 hours GMT. I was awake from 4 a.m as it had been a hot night

We overlook the Cape of Storms, a 20 minute drive away....the beach is reminiscent of the Costa Del Sol with its high risers and not very pretty. To the west of us 14 miles away, is Table Mountain.

The sun sets at 7p.m and tonight I said to Jessica, 'I am just off out to take a photo - Table Mountain was silhouetted in black against an orange sky across the bay, but by the time I got to where I wanted to go, the shot had been lost. Better luck next time. This mornings Red Dawn was taken with an iPhone ....

I took these between Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, it was a series of 20 shots as the sun was setting over one of the many wrecks along the coastline.

There is just something about an African sunset.

Thanks for posting these dramatic photos up Craig. Would the coast be known as the skeleton coast? Years ago I had to go into the bush up north in Namibia to carry out a bush rescue of a young Brit who had got into trouble. What was striking was how beautiful the bush was and how pure the air felt. The young man had acquired Malaria. Ultimately we got him the right treatment in the nick of time and back to the UK. He made a complete recovery.

Africa's a bit big innit, Julia Bradbury can't do a coast to coast walk in a month!...

I read all the Wilbur Smith novels (makes me an expert.

), amazing history to it all innit...
