Description
Namibia 2010
This TALL aloe was quarding us when we stopped to have breakfast next to the road in Namibia. (Before we reached the desert if you are wondering about the tree tops!) It was probably at least 15ft tall. I just loved how it was etched against the rather cloudy, early morning sky!
Thank you for your kind comments and favs on my previous upload!
Stay well!
Hugs, Carin xx
I am very busy at work and preparing for presentations in Cape Town and Durban next week. I may very well not be able to comment as much as I would like to during the rest of this week and then definitely next week when I'm all over the country! Grrr...

Fantastic aloe, I've never seen one like this before I came down to Florida. I took pictures of a group of them and didn't realise what they were because the new tops hadn't grown in yet. Excellent capture!

Super clarity and contrast in this shot of the healing plant, Carin! I'm glad you identified it as an aloe plant, because I thought at first it was some kind of palm tree mutation. And, I know you"re going to be busy, but would strongly appreciate it if you can stop by my gallery to view the elegant autos I'm in the process of posting.

What a great view, and POV. I would never expected, that an Aloe can get such high. I have a little one of that kind Aloe.
