Description
Namibia 2010
This TALL aloe was quarding us when we stopped to have breakfast next to the road in Namibia. (Before we reached the desert if you are wondering about the tree tops!) It was probably at least 15ft tall. I just loved how it was etched against the rather cloudy, early morning sky!
Thank you for your kind comments and favs on my previous upload!
Stay well!
Hugs, Carin xx
I am very busy at work and preparing for presentations in Cape Town and Durban next week. I may very well not be able to comment as much as I would like to during the rest of this week and then definitely next week when I'm all over the country! Grrr...

Fantastic aloe, I've never seen one like this before I came down to Florida. I took pictures of a group of them and didn't realise what they were because the new tops hadn't grown in yet. Excellent capture!
Outstanding capture, Carin! I wish you luck on your presentations
Such an amazing plant! A great shot!

Wonderful shot!
Well spotted and captured.
nice exotic palm and cloudy sky also there ? lovely shot
excellent image, great shot!!!
Great shot, Carin... good composition!
Super clarity and contrast in this shot of the healing plant, Carin! I'm glad you identified it as an aloe plant, because I thought at first it was some kind of palm tree mutation. And, I know you"re going to be busy, but would strongly appreciate it if you can stop by my gallery to view the elegant autos I'm in the process of posting.
Wow, my aloes sure never get this big--it's a giant and a beauty!!
OHHH MYY GOODNESS! I didnt know an aloe could be that tall. It must be very old? I simply adore this shot and I so LUUV aloe´s. I lost my jaw of the beauty.
The large aloe is fascinating, wonderful and very interesting capture!
Amazing! I've never seen one that tall. Exellent capture.
Its quiet stunning and I've certainly never heard of it before.. A wonderful skyline shot.. Rob

This is stunning and I love the POV! I've never seen such a tall and impressive Aloe! Quite amazing, and the details are just superb! I love this piece and I hope that things aren't too hectic for you! WOW! This rocks!
a fabulous plant .. I love the POV
I didn't know they could grow this tall. Wonderful capture. Busy is good if you need the job. Take care of business and we will see you when you have the time.
I've never seen such a thing! This is fascinating. You got me scurrying off to look up giant aloe. Wow! I miss you already, so I'll just continue ... :X
A fifteen foot aloe and a great capture Carin. Dana
What a great view, and POV. I would never expected, that an Aloe can get such high. I have a little one of that kind Aloe.
wow this Aloe is definitly trying to mimic a palmtree... what a fascinating shot, Carin!
