Camping on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, 1993
I started July’s extravaganza of Tree Squares with a tree photo from my overland trip in Africa, so it seems fitting to end on the same note. I have no idea what sort of tree this is, but it’s dramatic.
Two Tree Squares from me today, due to having spotted the remarkable tree growing around the power lines a few hours ago! I just had to share that.
July Squares are all about Trees. As always, a huge thanks to Becky!
wow what a fantastic camping sight, and such a beautiful tree to finish with. I love it 🙂

The most magical thing about this camp site was dawn the next morning — the mist flowed, like a waterfall, over the cliff and down into the crater, the entire scene tinted orange by the rising sun. Something never to be forgotten. Sadly, my rubbish film prints from 1993 do not do it justice.

It is a beauty. African thorn tree (acacia) perhaps. Such a typical sight. Camping in Africa is very special.

I also thought it might be a thorn tree. The photo is so poor, it’s hard to tell. And, I have to say this — camping is never special, no matter where it is. Nor “glamping”. So not me!

Haha… Not me either now. I like a comfy bed and a hot shower and solid walls around me!
