The plenitude of flowers is something I wouldn't expect to see - great!
Dave, can you tell what is drying in the pic #158 of the Richtersveld trip? I assume something to eat?
Thanks again for great links!

I assume something to eat? We are going at the time of year when flowers are everywhere around the west coast. I had planned in a trip to see the wild flowers just east of Springbok, where I have been before, but seeing these shots makes me think we are better saving the time and heading straight to Richtersveld that morning. The flower displays look just as good there, if not better. I love the scenery. I think some time driving around, some time exploring on foot and some time just sitting at the cottage watching the birdies and relaxing will be wonderful in such surroundings. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

I did have a shot of me standing astride the TofC next to the sign they have in the desert but it seems to have fallen out of my computer and disappeared. Shame ... https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

Looks like "bokkoms" or air dried fish, although I can't see them very clearly.

I dunno what the hanging stuff is. I haven't seen that before. Be sure to go to Kirstenbosch. Loads of flowers there, including tons of Proteas 5D : 17-40L : 85 f1.8 : 135L f2.0L - Full Gear List Here!

I am hoping there may be an evening concert or performance there as our days are lookin' potentially packed. Be nice to take a picnic and some bokkoms for Olli
