You can't see me, as I am a tree. (happy G-raff!)

The rock is the single largest chunk of metal and rock ever to impact the earth and survive the strike:

Welwitschia mirabilis, thought to be about 2000 years old, and is actually a tree:

These are a pair of very cheeky social weavers:

This balloon fell out of the sky like it was made of lead shortly after I took this foto:

The largest dune in the world, and I climbed it:

The nest in the tree is from a bird which I believe is called the social weaver, they live in groups sometimes reaching into the hundreds. The nest will be about that old too:

Bit of a lonely tree (sniff):

I love love love this thread....one of the best here thats for sho!! hehehe...just great!!
 
Gangabiss, the balloon took about a minute to hit the ground, I think the pilot was trying to descend to check out some animals, but overcooked it with the venting flap on top of the balloon. It was more of a controlled descent as opposed to a bone crushing accident. I used to have a whole sequence of it going down, but I can't find the other shots.
