If anything, Mum could be seen as even more exasperated in this picture, Mort, though it could be a preen as much as a peck...



Maybe she`s  giving a flustered nudge while saying `Don`t look, Ethel!` re the pair just behind ....

Just to get everyone into the right morning mood, here's our first dawn in the wilderness....

This is amazing picture. Our ancestors were meeting many mornings like that in the wilderness.
These are the first rays of sun probably. You capture the mood perfectly.

Our first view of the campsite at Kromrivier (hidden among the trees at the centre of the picture) where we were to spend our first two nights in the wilderness. This was from the minibus, but the following day the same route formed the end of our trial walk.

The camp itself: as is plain to see, it's autumn in S.A., and many of the trees are turning red. We've erected our tents and collected our luggage from the minibuses; sleeping bags and mats are laid out ready for the night, and in about 40 minutes' time we'll be walking back along the track to the farmhouse where the evening meal will be served.
  Meanwhile, I'll be climbing down from the rock outcrop which provided this fine vantage point and making for a little bridge over a river I noticed earlier, there to take some pictures of the sunset, which is due shortly...

My hunch about the bridge over the river paid off handsomely....

I'm really enjoying the photos Ron.

Locked up in city life as I am most of the time it's great to see images of the habitats nature set out for us before we started putting up our own.

Ron, this is going to sound like rather a cliche but ... `OH WOW!`. Another great pic.

You did the hard work and we are sitting comfortably  gazing at all this, without the aching muscles. Bring it on, big man!

Absolutely!
Just catching up here, Ron, and some stunning pics. Congrats again. I hope one day I can be Big Mart, following in your footsteps  Wink But a ways to go yet, I fear...  Sad

There's plenty more to come, Mort and Mart: indeed Big Ron has been out tramping the Glens again this afternoon, collecting more shots for your future pleasure, with hardly a twinge from any of the required muscles. A bag of cameras will naturally accompany me to Bristol and indeed wherever my (as yet undecided) return route may lead me in the next few days, so even after the S.A. pics are exhausted, there will be other joys.

Meanwhile, the light changes very quickly closer to the equator: only a couple of minutes later...

Stunned silence from Mort. You know what I`m going to say next, don`t you? Grin

You may not be able to step into the same river twice, but you can photograph it many times. Substantially the same view, early the following morning...
