Description
Shot while driving through the many beautiful wide open landscapes of an area called Damaraland - Namibia.
The green bushes that dot the savannah here are highly poisonous. The ancient bushmen hunters knew of the toxicity of the plant and used to touch their arrow tips with the milky sap so as to ensure their hunted animals would die soon after being hit.
The mountain in the background is Brandberg, Namibias highest peak at 2500M.
Regards.. Shaun.

A beautiful and dangerous place..I can see how an animal would be tempted to chew on the only green in the brown and gold landscape!

Amazing, the place that is the root of all humanity is still one of the most savage places on earth. Glad my relatives were smart enough to leave. Shaun, you just gave me another reason why Africa is at the bottom of my list of places to visit. Glad you made it back alive!

Absolutely gorgeous landscape. It's so different from what I'm used to, but it has a beauty all its own. Thank you!

Nice shot. Another one that looks like TG2. This is why I don't do this kind of thing in TG2.
