The Karoo at its best
After a couple of days pretending to be a SALT Astronomer, it was back to Cape Town to play photographer at Shireen & Geoff's wedding. Another thoroughly spectacular drive through the Karoo in full bloom, the 2nd great wedding in just over a week & then back up to SALT, blasting off loads more flower pics!
Having reached the top of Verlatekloof Pass, the flowers were posing less of a threat to my SALTward progress so I figured it was safe to put my foot down & go for it. Not to be though - I was soon to be ambushed by a martial eagle! It was being mobbed by crows eager to steal what was left of its late-afternoon mongoose snack & soon it had a camera-toting human to contend with as well...
What an extraordinary creature!!
