I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. IÂ want nature and peace around me, yet IÂ do not want to relinquish digital photography. IÂ have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. IÂ do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where IÂ do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet

Wow... very cool. Again..so much depth due to the foreground and background both being wonderfully visible. Really nice color on a sunny day! :0)

incredible view Piet and breath taking. I heard on the tv this morning that 1200 people are dying daily in the Congo from hunger and disease. is this true?the population must be very high

@ Richard: I believe so Richard, there has been a drawn out war since the first massacres and sources differ vastly on real casualties and people dying of starvation and disease. Fortunately we are several thousand miles seperated, to the south. Very sad!

My dad loves these trees - maybe I should've dug it up and taken it home for him? I think a portrait shot would've been better - helped the tree to look grounded - it's floating abit here.
