It is a overcast and dull autumn day in Centurion today so I think it is appropriate to share these colourful sunset/sunrise with all

The most amazing African country I've been to for sunsets has to be Namibia...

But Baja California was even more amazing that way (can one go on a whale watching `safari')?

That was a sunrise @@Game Warden, but if you're having a G&T I'll have one too.

 

@@laurab with me enjoying a G&T in the Mara as evening approaches. I know, how decadent... a Tusker pint jug! Plenty of tonic in there... honest :D

Hey GW, mine was taken with my camera resting on a beanbag resting on a vehicle window. A bit of exposure compensation dialled in and hey presto.
