Rocks at Storms River
It’s getting close to the end of the photos from my South Africa trip. This group of photos was shot near the middle of the trip and includes a variety of subjects. The exotic birds were photographed at Birds of Eden, a bird sanctuary that is a cage so big the birds don’t realize they are in a cage. It covers several acres and the net is about 100 feet overhead. A funny sign graced the men’s room at Monkeyland nearby. Bloukrans bridge is the largest in South Africa and known for its bungee jumping. The two bridges by the sea are at the mouth of the Storms River. A bridge through the forest was captured at Monkeyland. The black and white landscape and oyster sign are from Knysna. If anyone knows the correct names for the birds, please leave me a comment and I will change the captions.

Wow that red bird is intense. I always say that the most beautiful colours are to found in nature especially birds and insects.
Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I agree about nature’s colors.
Your pale blue bird is a ‘Blue Crane’. South Africa has so much to offer. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit.
Someone told me it is the national bird of South Africa. Thank you for stopping by.
That’s correct.
The pale blue bird is beautiful! And that’s the best men’s room sign I’ve ever seen!
Thank you.
As always, just remarkable work you do. I remain so impressed.
Thank you.

When I make it to South Africa I will have to stop by Storms River. Beautiful way to capture the country! Thank you so much for stopping by bubblemomentpages.
You are welcome and thank you for the compliment.
I love the birds shot especially, the sea rock pictures as well, in fact I love them all!
Is just awesome!
Thank you.
What lens did you use for these shots? Great work again!
The ones that look wide were done with a 20mm f/2.8 Af, it is over 20 years old. On FX it is really wide. The birds were photographed with a 70-300VR. When new it was nothing special, but after I broke it and had it fixed by Nikon, it was pretty good for a budget lens.
