Loving the Clouds of the Karoo Desert #139

My entry

It’s been a while! But I think it’s been worth the wait. A couple weeks ago I got to spend a week hiking in the vast and very harsh Karoo Desert in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.

It’s no joke. The place has had 8 years of drought and this summer was the first rain that broke the drought. The owner of the farms’ grandkids had not seen rain as they had all been born during the last 8 years. So we were extremely lucky to have booked for this specific time.

We had streams and pools to swim (or get wet) in and beautiful cloud cover that followed us most days when the wind didn’t blow. And we got to experience powerful electrical storms and thunder in the distance as we hiked.

I’d love to go back and do it all over again, but for now, I’ll leave you with a few photos of the Karoo Desert clouds that I loved so much.

I hope you like them as much as I did.

Thanks to @tobetada for your commitment to #lovetheclouds community and for these wonderful weekend my contests!

Have the best Easter Weekend!

Maravillosas fotos de una maravillosa experiencia, @zo3d. Imagino la sensación de libertad que da el poder divisar el horizonte de un extremo a otro, sin casa o edificios intermedios. Cierto, fueron afortunados de estar justo allí para ver la primera lluvia después de 8 años. Fue un éxito. Éxito también en el concurso. Gracias por compartir.

Wonderful photos of a wonderful experience, @zo3d. I imagine the sensation of freedom that comes from being able to see the horizon from one end to the other, without a house or intermediate buildings. True, you were lucky to be right there to see the first rain in 8 years. It was a success. Success also in the contest. Thanks for sharing.

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.

They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
