Description

In South Africa our autumn (fall) climate was very mild and led to the most enjoyable sunsets and it was a very good excuse to get away from home. The lions could be heard roaring just off to the right side of the capture.

Thank you for comments and visits to my previous upload.

This is beautiful Piet, and it must be something to see the sun so large as it sets. I can imagine the lions roaring at this sun.

a very beautiful shot, and nice to see a sunset pic which actually includes the sun, nicely filtered by the clouds (and maybe by some volcanic ash from Chile ?).
