The expedition vehicle high on the western flank of the Steens Mountain.  Note that nothing is growing or blooming yet.  Spring is still a few weeks off up this high on the mountain.

Looking down a valley to the west.  Nary a leaf is on a single tree yet.

  1. Thanks a lot for interesting photos. Especially for antilopes. Very uncommon shot. It wouldn’t be surprised if you meet Bear Grylls there.
