Friday above the clouds, Baboons and a morning bimble
Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2020 6:38 pm
Hi All,
Bit of a different Friday morning. Ventured out early to Al Hada to photograph the local troop of baboons. On arrival found that Al Hada was only just above the cloud tops and managed to shoot some nice landscape shots showing the tops of the clouds from above. The valley below us was full of clouds and later the clouds were forced up out of the valley. Got some nice shots of the baboons in the 'Golden Hour' sunshine.
Then after a drive back to Taif went for a normal bimble and found a lovely spot with quite a few waders and a couple of first time spots.
