Southern Richtersveld Landscape

The arid Southern Richtersveld landscape is covered with a carpet of yellow wild flowers after the Winter rain. A young Aloe pillansii (that's been around for a generation or two in human terms) stands tall on the horizon. As the next few generations pass, this young Aloe pillansii's trunk might also make branches and it may just become one of the ancient giants of this place that time forgot... Southern Richtersveld, Northern Cape, South Africa, August 2007. Best viewed LARGE.
