Description


This is one of the photographs very close to my heart: I was struck by nature's effort to create a sculpture of a nude woman. Does nature want to tell us, that despite the dead tree trunk it contains an abundance of potential for new life? The photograph was taken near Shingwedzi in the Kruger National Park. The land "where the night skies are still pitch black and the milky way spans the skies like a worn out silk ribbon..." Wow, ain't I philosophical! LOL This picture is dedicated to Jodie: Happy birthday on your 35th tomorrow! All women: Happy International Women's Day!
