Before anyone comments, it's not simply blown out - this was a perfectly exposed image - I've added a halation effect to achieve the etherial look. Located in a house in the abandoned town of Kolmanskop, a deserted diamond mining town in the middle of the dunes of the Namib desert. Aerial shot from a microlight over the dunes of Sosussvlei, Namibia. 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 ;-)

Amazingly, for big wild cats, non threatening. This cat decided he needed a plaything and he proceeded to grab, drag and, ultimately, defend his new property! 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. No idea what the collective term is, but these guys tirelessly and repeatedly swarmed from the edge of the watering hole to the nearby tree and back again. Lunatics, the lot of them!!
