I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Another great image, Carin! I'm sure you didn't sleep well since that unfortunate attack... are they gonna calm down soon, or the things are getting worse?

The grasses soften the look and make this seem such a wonderful place.

Fantastic photo! Glad that things are starting to go back to normal for you two.

Sterling clarity, color, light/shadow and texture inherent in the massive rocks of the Spitzkoppe, contrasted against the clear, light blue sky, Carin. So happy you're back after that harrowing experience; looking forward to more of your stellar pics, and your always welcome comments on my postings, which I've really missed by their absence. I'd like you to check out my "Hold that tiger #2" offering when you're able.

What a welcome return for me to see one of your wonderful shots. I too have been away(for a couple of weeks or so). My attention had to be on my husband, who had bypass surgery a little over 2 weeks ago. All is well now, and I'm so happy to be back. This is a great capture. Your composition is perfect. Lovely image.

The balance is wonderful. It has all layers of landscape and a view that is breathtaking.

Ag Dierbaar ... Dis goed om jou te sien! Ek mis jou, skat. Ek sal beskikbaar wees hierdie naweek indien jy is. Liefde baie ... :X What a wonderful composition! I agree with you about the grass ... it lends a different texture to the landscape and provides a great conrast. Nicely done!

In the U.S. state of Montana they would call this 'Big Sky Country'. Looks very peaceful. Wonderful image and nice balance between the rocks and the sky. I hope you are feeling better every day.

Wonderful landscape! I like the composition mixing the tranquil sky and the uneven ground and the location of these contrasted components almost along a diagonal.
