Originally used as a kraal (pen) for keeping animals safe over night during the turn of the 20th century, 3 of the sandstone obelisks are unmarked graves. They were cut from the surrounding mountains and brought down by ox-wagon.
The title is poetic license and the picture my interpretation of the challenge. I had the camera low on the ground to emphasise the angle of the stones and my perspective of the scene. No major surgery was done on the image. NEF RAW to TIFF. WB to Sunlight, Nikon Landscape Picture Control, crop, resize, smart sharpen. Photographed with a particularly crisp and colour accurate Tokina 12-24mm f/4.
"Definition of obtuse : The adjective obtuse is good for describing someone slow on the uptake: 'Don't be so obtuse : get with the program!'
or
Obtuse may refer to: Obtuse angle, an angle of between 90 and 180 degrees; Obtuse triangle, a triangle with an internal angle of between 90 and 180 degrees ..."
Ek wonder deesdae oor die probleem van kleurvol-geid.
Should one tone down the colours, to be more acceptable? I suppose it depends on what you want to achieve. Better points, tone down. But of course, being a South Effrikên, I like it as it is.
Wonderlike foto..dis darem mooi wereld daar. Amper gedink dit moet Amanda wees maar toe sien ek nog 'n ander foto in die challenge wat ook naby Clarence gemaak is en wat meer Amanda se styl is. So ek dink dus dat hierdie foto deur iemand anders gemaak is dan Amanda. En ek dink dit kan dalk HarveyG wees want hy het nou onlangs nog in sy kommentaar op een van Amanda se foto's gese hy gaan binnekort daai berg weer sien :)
Ek het toevallig ook 'n foto gemaak van ongeveer hierdie einste punt af die dag toe ek vir Amanda en Bees in Clarence gaan kuier het. Ek was net 'n bietjie verder af met daai pad en jy sien presies dieselfde berge in die agtergrond. Kyk maar en vergelyk...hier is die foto: //i.imgur.com/NYuXt.jpg
