Another day in Bothaville, another great sunset!
Here's another autumn sunset taken in March 1988 near Bothaville in South Africa.
This sunset was taken from our camp near Delmas which is about 40 miles east of Johannesburg. Looking back, I don't recall mosquitoes being a particular problem, despite the often wet camp sites.
I captured this sunset a week or two after I crashed the boss's car. I was struck by the cloud formation at the higher altitude. Below it is another layer of thin clouds giving the patches with less clarity.
I took this shot of the Matla Power Station just after sunset when we were camped at Trichardt, about 80 miles east-southeast of Johannesburg along the N17.
With the near daily storms that passed in the afternoons, we were often treated to wonderful sunsets like this one. The sun has just dipped below the horizon behind the stand of trees, illuminating the clouds from below with a fiery red glow.
