An unexpected spell of warmth in mid-January breaks up the frozen surface of Parker River Salt Pannes and sunset pours gold over a winter marshland. But once the sun falls below the horizon, it is neither day nor night. It is time for magic… time for the wonder of pure light to eclipse the distractions of day and reach deep into the heart of sky, land and observer.

During an unexpected chance to experience Africa, a seed was planted. Nurtured by subsequent forays into wild places, this photographer was born.
Jacques Cousteau said “People protect what they love.” And we’ve all heard that “A picture is worth a thousand words.” So, enough with this. My photography says the rest. Thanks for listening.

Wonderful description of a beautiful picture.
Thank you Bette! Thrilled you enjoy this image and description too. I know a picture is already worth a thousand words, but some move me to add a few more…

Fantastic colours and great movement in the clouds, great work!
Thank you Delfino. Thosee colors were amazing and your comment about the movement you perceive makes me smile… it was very windy!!! But all that wind made a great “brush” for painting a dramatic sky.
