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

Great shot of nature. Those trees do look familiar. Perhaps I have seen similar in magazines. You can't beat raw nature. That's the best. Aloha

This is picture perfect - now I really miss the Kruger. Not that this picture was taken there - it just brings back memories of days gone by when my folks and I had picnics next to the road on the way to a holiday destination. This is a great landscape!
