    The Beautiful Okavango Delta!

    Botswana

    There are [5] photos and [1] story about Botswana

    This fantastic sunset over the Okavango delta is so beautifully rich in colour. I love the ripples in the water and yet the water appears so smooth. I love that everything on the horizon is black against the orange background and that itself is reflected in the water. I tried also to include a lily and lily pad in the forefront and managed to get that and a few others which lead the eye along the water. by: loulou1506 Views[853] This picture was taken to convey the beautiful movement of the Pula against the beautiful backdrop of the sunset over the Okavango. I love that the Pulas guiding stick cuts right through the sun. by: loulou1506 Views[410] I was trying to capture the beauty of the lilies that lined the waterways of the Okavango. I picked this one to display because i love that one is taller and therefore higher in the picture and the other is on level with the water. I also love the symmetry of the reflection in the water, as well as the lily pad at the back which adds depth to the picture. by: loulou1506 Views[427] This picture I hope demonstrates how beautifully clear cut the waterways were through the reeds of the Okavango Delta. I tried to keep the very tip of the Mokoro in to show us gliding over the water. by: loulou1506 Views[402] In this picture i was trying to capture the motion of the Mokoro and and its Pula along the water. I love that the sun was almost overhead and that its reflection has added something to the appearance of the water around the Mokoro. by: loulou1506 Views[419]
