Shades of Africa

When I look out my backdoor to the hill at sunset it always makes me think of Africa. Last night the sunset was so intense and the bats just added an extra dimension to the drama.

Top Twenty #20 Week 213.

@emiko @cbell It can be a little freaky, I'm okay as long as they stay in the sky! I also don't have to live near them, they can really smell quite bad.

[Laetitia Petrussa]

Waw. The colours do make you think of African savannah sunsets. Maybe because of the dust in the air?

Awesome capture...love the colours

@laetitiapetrussa Thanks Laetitia! I'm not sure if I imagine it but we also seem to get nicer sunsets in winter but I think you're right about the dust. Smoke is the same.
