This photo was taken a few months after the sunset photo while on a different trip. It’s taken from one of the rocky outcrops in the north-east corner of the park looking to the north-west. I’ve always liked these wide open vistas. They provide a sense of a world without limits.
Once again, at the right time of year, the sunsets in South Africa provide a fantastic display of color. This image is taken in the Willem Pretorius Game Reserve in the Free State.
About 30 miles south-east of Welkom you’ll find the Willem Pretorius Game Reserve. I visited this reserve several times when I was working in the area.
Here’s a wider view of the same sunrise as in yesterday’s photo. It shows our camp site at Bultfontein.
After Heuningspruit we found ourselves camped near Bultfontein. This was almost certainly taken with my Tamron 500mm mirror lens as my records show the next longest lens I owned at the time was a 300mm.
Heuningspruit is a really small town, if it even qualifies as a town, about 18 miles north-east of Kroonstad in the Free State. I took this photo of the sunrise from our camp there.
