The lingering light of an approaching sunset makes brilliant silhouettes out of ordinary scenes. Here some African Oystercatchers are finding their way home just before the sun dips behind Meeurots and the light fades from orange to pink, then grey, and finally the deep darkness of rest.
18 July is a celebration of South Africa’s President Nelson Mandela and the community cohesion he worked for. It has left me contemplating the flow of energy involved in gathering and giving. My individual gains are so small, I find them easy to disregard. My conclusion at the end of a long, tiring and trying, day? I find hope when I remember to just be a small working part of an alive planet.
