The Kumba Iron Ore Mine.
The Kumba Iron Ore Mine situated in the Kalahari, near the mine town of Kathu, is at times a red dust town… but the dust settles once a little rain falls and when this happens the air is so clear that the skies almost looks an unusual blue. A testament to pollution control makes these skies a very special experience, specially from a beautifully clean pool…
But look at this sky … what a beautiful blue… I had to wait for the scarce cloud to capture the contrast…

Stunning African sky, the bluest of blue while the clouds are the whitest of white! Absolutely stunning!
There seems to be no other place I know with such clear sky… lack of pollution I suppose…

Having just returned to the UK from sunnier climes, I wish I was back under wonderful blue skies and enjoying the warmth of the sun that your photos remind me of.
Gosh, that really is a brilliant blue!
Isn’t it ? and now with all the rain its like this every day…
So beautiful sky images… fascinating. Thank you, love, nia
Thanks Nia
Nothing more fascinating than skies, these have amazing clarity bulldog. 🙂
Thanks to a good camera that I can point towards the sky and take a photo… tried to take a photo of a bird.. could not see the focus and it was just a blur on the computer…
Well done to you for even attempting it. You’ve had so much to cope with lately, I can only imagine your frustration! Skies & landscapes are great subjects for a while tho, I actually thought your eyes must be better as these were so sharp!
Just take care bulldog *hugs* 🙂
Beautiful photo’s as usual. I love watching the clouds as well when I am lying in our pool. Great post my friend and hope all is well. 😀 *hugs*
Thanks Sonel… nothing better than floating in the pool and watching the sky…
Lovely summer sky, Bulldog! And the pool looks so inviting… When will you be seeing the eye guy?
We are only returning to the city this weekend, so will phone Monday and see when will be the earliest he can see me…
I love the look of the pool, but hoy, oh boy, the beautiful sky! It’s just gorgeous and I hope you are relaxing and healing well! What a lovely location. 🙂
Thank you… we are enjoying the good weather, heat and even a bit of rain… the rain is always welcome in the arid region of the Kalahari…
Beautiful African blue sky, bulldog. Heading up to the cold of NYC. I envy you the warmth and the pool. Hope your eyes and skin are back on an even keel. 🙂
Oh dear enjoy the cold of the big city…
Beautiful sky Rob and gorgeous cloud formations – worth waiting for. Stunning. Just to let you know too – I do try to comment on most of your postings but sometimes I get hit with an error and wordpress kicks me off – so not that I don’t want to. Hope you are getting your eyes sorted out. Hugs from NZ
Thank you… it is not always possible for us all to comment, I can see by the counter people are looking at my posts, and I know you are one of them…
Love that blue sky. We have the gray kind here!
Ahhh winter, please keep it for as long as you can…
Ahhhh. Blue skies nothing but blue skies. It is music to the eyes and soul
I agree… specially when it brings a little rain…
Lovely captures Bulldog! I could gaze at a sky like that for hours…
It was closely followed by some rain … much needed in the semi dessert of the Kalahari… lovely cooling effect as well…
Che cielo stupendo, è bellissimo!
Ciao, Pat
Thanks Pat
Gorgeous sky. We had the most beautiful summer-blue sky the other day – in the middle of winter!
That is good to here…
It was awesome to see…there’s something about the sky….
A perfect match with your border!
Thanks Frank
Oh, to dive in that pool and float whilst looking up at that sky!! ((living vicariously through you!))
Hope you are feeling better and better. Are the eyes still as troublesome?
Yes Skye to float in the pool and look at that sky is a pleasure that even double vision can;t spoil… eyes still not improving but itches are… thanks for asking
Cannot wait till you can have that checked out. Still holding your peepers, you and Linda in prayer.
I close my eyes and I am there :). Ahhhhhh!!!
I close my eyes and I see you here with us,,,
:). Think of me this weekend – we have another big snowstorm heading our way :(. Soak up some rays for me ok?
Oh that is stunning. So blue!
