Bulletin 5

09 February 2006


This bulletin might be following Number 4 a bit sooner than expected. It is in effect a continuation of the Waterberg trip. On the way back I decided to stop over at the Spitzkoppe for the night to see what images would present themselves.

I was not disappointed. At first I did not know what I should concentrate on as there was so much activity all around me. I will most definitely be returning to the Spitzkoppe sooner than later to take full advantage of what it has to offer.

That should conclude the combined onslaught of Bulletins 4 and 5.
