We live in a wild country of raw nature and vast beauty.
Oh yes, our sunsets are magical at times whenever the clouds play the game and there are some beautiful colors in here. A series of photos from the start of the sunset to the finish at the mountains.
It is whenever I see these scenic displays that I am transponded into the wild of Africa and just a pity that I did not have 2 Giraffes next to the tree in the first photo.
But I have a real wild peace when I look at this and no money can buy any of this, as it is all free for us to enjoy.
Come and have a look.
And so we have arrived to wait for the sunset.
In the meantime I played around a bit with my camera and here below is my shadow next to the shadow of the big old tree that I was standing under.
A clear shot of the tree's lovely shadow with the color of the mountains and the sky in the background.
This is our favorite tree and as you can see, the sunset has started.
Oh yes, raw nature speaks to my soul about the fact that it is how our lives were intended to be. But of course our strive after luxury and comfort have ruined the original design. I can so easily see myself running around clothed in buckskin and sleeping under the stars next to a fire every night. Primitive many would say, but there would be no traffic logjams, or waiting in queues, or any of the other modern ills to contend with. No taxes to pay and a time of freedom where only common sense ruled.
This was taken on our road back home.
Finally, I took the photo below from our garden back home and a human would be the size of an ant in that valley.
So different from our own prisons that we have created for ourselves in these modern times. Drinking purified or bottled water instead of sipping from a fresh mountain stream. Slipping around in showers instead of bathing under a waterfall. Eating artificial cancerous food instead of foraging in the wild for healthy edibles.
Sadly, our created comfort is never enough, our hospitals are full and all kinds of dangers create supreme discomfort.
Just doesn't make sense to my true African soul.
We hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.
May a peaceful Sunday be with all of you.
And That's All Friends.

What's the tree shadow and what's yours? 😉
Although I love and prefer sunrises, sunsets like yours are so beautiful as well. I think I will have to go and take some sunset photos soon, but also without a giraffe 😊
Hope you're having a pleasant Sunday, my friend 🌞
!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)
!invest_vote
An easy one to see as I am at the left 🤣 !LOLZ
Thank you and you can always try to get an elephant, or a lion in the shot.
Oh I forget, you only have cats in Austria 🤣🤣🤣
My Sunday is peaceful and I will not say sleepy, as I know what the mention of sleep does to you 😉
Cheers and thanks.
I knew the small one is the tree 😂 !LOLZ
Yep, we have cats who think they are lions 😉
My eyes just wanted to close for a nap, but I have had a look at the clock and it's soon time to get some sunset shots. I don't know how next week will be and I have time, so I go today and hope for some evening clouds, or I'll get the same photos as for sunrise 😄
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)
!invest_vote
Hahaha and I knew that it was a tease 🤣 !LOLZ
All of the small animals think that they are lions, even the squirrels are trying to growl like lions 🤣
Closed eyes just before sunrise sounds like bad medicine to me, as I can never sleep during daylight.
Something that I would like to see is how you get the same sunrise clouds at sunset. Never heard of it before and you are certainly a magician 😎
Cheers and thanks.
Not only the small animals - I was one of the the smallest at school, but my mouth was open like a lion's 🦁 !LOLZ
At the moment the time of day doesn't matter to me, I can sleep at any time at any place it seems.
I said "... or I'll get the same photos as for sunrise" - for sunrise I haven't had any clouds, so I meant if there are no clouds at sunset I would get the same "cloudless" photos as for sunrise 🤣🤣🤣
... and so it was - other place but same cloudless photos 😉
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Can you believe that I was also very small at primary school Hannes ?
We had standards here and at standard 5, I was still small. Then in one year of standard six I became one of the tallest guys in the high school.
My mom had regular fits as she had to buy a new long pants for me every few months 🤣 !LOLZ
What a long way to explain a cloudless day 🤣🤣🤣
Oooh! And yes, I love the mountain layers in this beautiful photo 😊
Cheers and thanks.
Yep, I think you have told me that a while ago. A friend of my kids has also been smaller then they were, but now he's 18 and almost 2 meters high.
I just felt like writing 😂 !LOLZ and thank you very much kindly, my friend 😊
!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Yes, me too @papilloncharity… I have a lot of patience. My husband less… 😉
I am lucky as my wife is also very patient. At times she calls me a statue as I can stand still for hours waiting for the perfect shot 😊
Hahaha that’s nice… 😁☀️
Thank you and yes, patience is a virtue 😊
It is indeed 😊
The silhouette of the trees in the background shows the sunlight. it's so beautiful thanks for sharing😊

A striking contrast with my native places. The sky seems to be 10 times higher.
Thank you and very thin air here at the southern tip of the African continent.
When I was working in Gabon I actually did that for a weekend🤣🤣🤣 Utter madness and too much palm wine lol
African sunsets really are spectacular!
A weekend is too short methinks and palm wine can certainly make a person do funny things !LOLZ
Spectacular is the correct word 😉

hehe palm wine does get to you 🤣
What a beautiful view, you have a very big yard hahaha, when I feel stress starting to tighten my chest I get away to nature and breathe.
Sometimes I wish I lived in nature away from it all. @papilloncharity 🤗
Thank you and no, our yard is not very big. There are very big yards around here, but we live in a cottage that is much smaller than a normal house.
We hope to move again soon and it will be deeper into nature, as it is the best for mind, body and soul.
Blessings to you @soyunasantacruz
