It's that time of the year

when the roadside Aloes are flowering on the way to the Helderberg. I made a stupid mistake by not changing the aperture! I was taking close ups of the flowers before.

I really like the way it turned out in spite of what you call your mistake! It causes us to focus more on the flowers and makes a nice shallow DOF with the mountains. Brilliant light.
