A post on Face Book this morning by my son of his photo of todays Kalahari Sky (this is the picture he posted)..
This had me running back to my folders to dig up a few of my captures…. I think he posted this photo just to whet my appetite for our trip 8 days from now… but the skies down in the Kalahari are just so special, something one does not see everywhere in RSA. So here is a few I’ve captured… Some are sunrise and others sunsets.
The Photographic Journey of bulldog. 
Stunning shots. The colors are incredible. So fortunate to have the opportunity to live in and capture the beauty of your country. I just love these photos!
Thank you…
Love these pics. Sunsets and sunrises are so incredible. I’ve never been to the Kalahari, but hope to go one day.
It is a place one has to visit… but beware a visit creates a urge to go back, one I have as yet still to break, fortunately my Son and DiL live there which makes it easier to fulfill the urge…
The colours are so beautiful..WOW!
All these photo’s are stunning, Bulldog. However I love the one your son took (sorry!) because of the harsh lines and the way in which the colours changed towards the horizon! You have competition… lol!
He does surprise me every now and then… he has agood eye for photo composition.. just not as keen a photographer that I am… I wish he was, he’d be one of the best…
🙂
Third from the top is BREATHTAKING!!!! I MISSED IT! Next time call me I’ll hop on my jet LOL!
Okay I’ll keep you to that…
I sing for my food too!
A dazzling spectacular display of colors and forms. A masterpiece that constantly changes with each turn of time. Beautiful!
Thanks .. yes every one is unique in itself and is ignored by so many…
wow! beautiful!
Thanks Doris…
This are beautiful love them.
Thank you Kymee
Stunning!!
Thanks…
You can’t beat a good skyscape, and you’ve got some great ones here. I’m off to Lanzarote in ten days time for a short break, which is about the closest I ever get to Africa (100km approx. from Morocco). There should be some wonderful sunsets to capture, but there will be no wildlife as in the Kalahari.
Thanks Brian… look forward to seeing yours…
Wonderful shots!
Thanks TBM
Amazing captures, Rob …. Evenings on fire – breathtaking. My favorite is the second one from the top.
Thank you Viveka
A wonderful colourful collection of sunrise and sunset shots!
Thanks Chris..
Beautiful is the word for the day!
Thank you is the reply…
Beautiful!
Thanks,,
I have so many sunset over the ocean photos, and I can’t stop myself from taking more! There is something so extraordinary about the sky at sunrise and sunset with those gorgeous colors! Your photos are jaw-dropping!
Thank you… as I see it one must continue to take the photos… no two are ever alike and once you see it you will never see it again… so I continue to take the photos and have files full of them… it is like the sunrise every morning.. I’m normally outside cuppa tea in one hand and cigarette in the other and I witness the beauty daily and every single one of them is magical and starts my day off right…
Absolutely gorgeous Rob. Those colours are amazing and so are the shots! Thanks for sharing. 😀
Thank you Sonel… such a wonderful place for such captures…
Stunning images – hope you have a great trip and capture some more of those holiday memories to share.
Thanks Vicki..
Bellissime foto, sono un incanto!!
Ciao, Pat
Thanks Patrizia…
Gorgeous shots Bulldog. 🙂
Thanks LuAnn…
Truly beautiful photographs. It seems it runs in the family!!! Thank you for sharing, Bulldog!
A pleasure Skye…
Some are sunrises and some are sunsets, but all are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them, bulldog!
Thanks Russ
WOW! So beautiful dear Rob, I loved them so much. Thank you, love, nia
Thanks Nia…
Beautiful skies!! I love skies.. 🙂
Thanks Laura… when they look like this I love them as well… it means I’m out of the city…
What a sky! Stunning photos! 😀
Thank you…
Beautiful! Can’t go wrong with sunrise, sunset and animal photos. So get going already and take some more! 😉
Thanks only a few more sleeps and we are on our way…
Wow!! So beautiful. I wish I was going with you, but at least I will be able to travel with you through your photos :).
I would love to see what you would do with these type shots… you being the professional that you are… I’d probably throw my camera away…
Oh silly Bulldog, I am no professional, but thank you so much for the compliment :). You just made my day!
Another shutterbug in the family…cool!
Yep… now the whole family does it…
Beautiful skies, I love them, that is what I miss in the city.
Thanks Ute… yep these only seem to appear out there in the outback…
I love sky photos. These are beautiful bulldog.
Thanks Diana…
Gorgeous, irresistible skies in all of them. You are going to Kalahari then 🙂
We are off there next Sunday for 10 odd days… can’t wait… beautiful skies aren’t they…
Stunning really 🙂 I wish you a great time and more of such sunsets/sunrises, Bulldog 😀
Beautiful, can’t wait to get down there.
So with you on that one… get back to the heat and away from these cool days here in Pta…
Very impressive skies and photos of them. I’ve seen some great skies (not quite as fabulous as these) and tried to take a photo of them, but often I lose the colour. It takes a real skill to capture the colours just right. You’ve got that part figured out already.
Thanks Anneli… the colours are so special.. a little bit of camera setting makes all the difference to capturing the true colours… …
Someday I hope to get to that stage in my picture snapping.
Those images are stunning
Thank you Richard..
Brilliant! Splendid shots
Thank you…
Oh – absolutely beautiful bulldog, I love them! Coincidentally I was out taking sunrise pics a couple of mornings ago. Also lovely, but a very very different sky. 🙂
Thanks Amanda.. the area is just so special for such captures… don’t know if it might have something to do with the aridity of the area and dust… but it certainly offers up special opportunities…
