On my visit to the Karoo last week, I got to experience an awesome Karoo sunset from one of the viewpoints at the Valley of Desolation. You can see why the Karoo is called “Big Sky Country”.
For more pictures of the sky from other exotic places all over the world, visit Skywatch.

These are gorgeous Jonker. Reminds me a little of Arizona sunsets. I like that Big sky country and look forward to seeing it.

Great colours. Your postings about the Angora goat have interested me very much. I didn't knew that there were so many Angora Goat in South-Africa, good for 50% of world's mohair. Didn't expected that.

Those are exquisite. There is something about an African sunset that is so special. You have captured those colours so beautifully! The second one looks almost like a painting. I do hope you're going to display those in your home!!

I lived in S Africa for a while. I visited Port Elizabeth but only rode through the Karoo on a train. I missed the sunsets!
