Showcasing the beauty of Mother Nature
These are the pictures that jumped out at me to post today; I’m not sure why, but I decided to run with it. 🙂
These are from my time in Damaraland, Namibia. We had the opportunity to explore the Twyfelfontein World Heritage Site to see the bushman rock art. The rock art depicts people, the animals and birds of the region, and even the location of both permanent and seasonal waterholes.
If you’d like to learn more about the area, here is a link to a wiki page about it.
I could have shared any number of photos taken along the river near my old home, with lovely sunrises and mountains… but this spoke to me more. I recently took a bird watching trip along the Kazinga channel in Uganda, and this village was at the turn around point for the tour. For a photo challenge topic of water, a photo shot from the water, of a village that completely relies on the water, seemed fitting.
Here’s a blog post that hits two of the WPC photo challenge topics at once. When I read the description for the edge challenge, I knew that some of the shots I took while flying between camps in Kenya would be a great choice to share. But being on those planes ties so well into the topic of nostalgia for me. Being in a small plane (especially up front) takes me right back to being a kid, heading up with my Dad in a two or four seater plane, and flying around either sightseeing, or heading to my Grandparent’s cottage. Great memories and such fun times 🙂
Please note, I’m away for several weeks, so I have scheduled my regular Monday, Wednesday and Friday posts in advance. I will moderate and respond to any comments just as soon as I am able.
I am hoping to be taking loads of photos, so if you would like to follow along, please feel free to give my page a like on Facebook @jennifersawickyphotography and a follow over on Instagram at jensawicky.
This week we have had some truly awful weather (I heard it referred to as Junuary, and that was pretty appropriate since the high one day was 6C with 60+mm of rain) and as such, I haven’t been out with the camera much. So, I thought I would share a few of the photos I call my ‘Artistic Impressions”. Generally, I like to keep colour photos as true to life as I can remember, and take my liberties with monochrome edits to highlights the subject to it’s best advantage. Sometimes though, a photo seems to be asking for more, and I take it (for me) to an over the top place. I’ve been having some fun recently doing more of these artistic edits, and thought I would share a few today, since I don’t have anything else.
Have a great week everyone!
