This is the full version of the [Vredefort dome](http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1162): [ http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1637370](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1637370)

For those of you only interested in the bare facts: The Vredefort dome is the biggest visible crater on earth, about 90 miles across (some sources say 60 miles)  and was created by a meteorite of about 6 miles in diameter, hitting earth about 2,000 million years ago. The crater rim is about 90 miles from my home. Here is another satellite picture. The impact melted the gold and forced it to the surface and South Africa's gold mines are located around the crater.

Shari said "hooterville"! :ohmy: Denise, show us what you have, I bet she is too scared to upload any of her pics here.

Digitaleagle: Royce, thank you for that upload of the Bison. While being surrounded by animals you would regard as exotic, I long to see the world on your side, the things you take for granted.
