Was surfing the net looking for information about the Richtersveld, also World heritage site.
This tree is called the "Halfmens", half-human. From a distance these trees look like people.
Some idea of the rugged and arid conditions in the Richtersveld.
This is the Augrabies waterfalls several hundred kilometres up-stream of the Richtersveld on the Orange river which flows throw the Richtersveld. Now click on this link
http://blog.africabespoke.com/augrabies-falls-in-flood-orange-river to see some amazing photos of last years flood. The photo above is the falls in a normal rain year 2008. The picture above was taken from the viewing platform that you see in the first picture when you go to the link.
Breathtaking! Interesting tree and love the waterfall.
