I shot this about midday in Lesotho while we were driving past. There was no time to set it up but it depicts life in a small Lesotho town.
Thank you for the favourites! I love the image and I absolutely love to photograph the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho.

Interesting sky. Is there a-storm-a-brewin', or did you darken it, I wonder.

No, no storm , but a strong westerly and very dusty wind prevailed. Good photographs were hard to get. The dark sky is dust and more dust.

Thanks. Really nice work.

Agreed. But there is just too much on the b/g. The attention is pretty much drawn to the beautiful top portion of the image and then to the car, truck? and only then to those rusty fence. I think this would have been very nice if you had focused it a bit closer. Anyway its a well composed picture around a rusty subject.

Moving to a 10...Had it a 7 but this is a great photo. I like it a lot. The sky really makes this nice. I'd like to see a panorama.
