Namibia and Cosmos

Bit of an odd title, but this is to update on our recent journeys. 

We had a remarkable time in Namibia. Roads straight and well kept. Few people [only about 1.2 million people in the country] and great photographic opportunities. 

David and I attended the Desert Light workshop organised by Lydia Ellis and presented by Willem Oets and Nicole Palmer. I was a non-photographic participant and had a wonderful time reading and at times watching the beautiful audio visuals. David had a great time indulging in photography from pre-dawn to late night.

But we also visited Luderitz, Elizabeth Bay and Kolmanskop beforehand. Other wonderful photos were taken by David in that environment.

We stayed at some great lodges and re-visited Kulala Lodge which is one of our favourite places to stay. Great views of the desert and fine accommodation.

We had our first Creative Escapes weekend for 2009 at the end of March. With beautiful cosmos to photograph and a visit to Lesotho, all the delegates had a splendid weekend. 

The next Creative Escapes weekend is at the end of April - the Autumn Wonders of the Eastern Free State.
