The result of a wonderful trip in a microlight over the dunes of Namibia, near Sosussvlei. This is taken with the awesome 85mm f/1.2L. I wonder if the image is the result of me or the lense. The latter I reckon ;-) Not much of a story for this one. Driving around Etosha Park, Namibia, and there are a group of Giraffe heading away from our car. This tall drink of water was leading the pack at a good stride. Dawn brushes the water on the east coast of Grand Caymen. Me and the starfish were quite relaxed watching the rising dawn sun.

Actually a re-upload due to the original being processed on a laptop. If this composition looks familiar, it's because Marsel Van Oosten kindly told us where this 'blue room' was.
