Merry Christmas from our garden in Napier, Western Cape, South Africa also on behalf of our resident Malachite Sunbird and all the other winged friends.
BTW Hope to see you all in what many South Africans and the tourist industry consider as a ‘dull village’ …. ‘Dull’???? Read here how dull!
Market Photography
Flight show of Pelicans above the village. Pity I don’t have a 800 mm lens…
I make most of my pictures in and around our house but was never on top. Those few meters make a difference. Note: color of background is influenced by sea mist (and not Photoshop).
This one was shot early this morning:
From Mexico is the Pelecyphora asceliformis. There is no common name for this cactus as far as I know. But I do know that it grows (very slowly; this is a 12 yrs old one grown from seed) in our garden. Ideal subject for B&W photography.

These are 4 blended pictures in which I tried to capture the movement of the globe. It works nice with the moon but look what the star/planet (most probably Venus) is doing…
I’m privileged to live in a part of the world with amazing sunsets and sunrises. Can’t stop picturing them.
Give me one more day with sunshine and I open my heart
