Please tell us there is more you can publish? Because already these were a pictorial journey of special kind, not to forget the pleasing tones. How beautiful they look, I wish HDR and over-saturated images never existed.

I just have done some research. It's really terrible.
Let's hope things will change again.

I have to reiterate my invitation to refrain from political comments, I see.
Everyone has their opinion on the politics of Zimbabwe. And opinions differ. If we keep on commenting here (which is breaking the rule), people with a different opinion are left with the choice of either break the rule too and reply, or not break the rule and accept that only one opinion is voiced. And this is not fair.
If you are eager to talk about politics of Zimbabwe, please open a thread in the Dive Bar.
If another political comment is posted in this thread, I will lock it, without further warning.

Sorry, Orio, you're right. I didn't mean to make a political comment just an utterance of regret. However, I should not have done that here.

Thanks all. Here are few more, including some from South Africa on the same trip.
Children on Ant Manning's farm in Zimbabwe. Nikkor 200mm f4.
Zebra in Hwange National Park. Nikkor 200mm f4.
Dead trees in Lake Kariba. Nikkor 20mm.
Waterfall in Chimanimani. Nikkor-S 35mm.
Royal Natal National Park, South Africa. We met these fellow hikers on a mountain path; they had stopped for lunch. Nikkor-S 35mm.
Hiking in the Drakensberg, South Africa. Nikkor 20mm.
Sheep shearing time at the Sephtons' farm, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
And finally, my wife, Lindsay, on the beach in Llandudno, South Africa.
OK, that's plenty (probably more than that)!

Wonderful shots of a beautiful place. I particularly like the shot through the waterfall with the rainbow in the bottom (thought I would make the falling water vertical), it's a view that challenges the mind.

Just some amazing shots, gaeger. It makes me get all moody again about the passing of Kodachrome, knowing that my Kodachrome archive is now bounded and will never increase in size.
I especially like the darker images, dunno why. Maybe it's my mood. Thanks also for including info on the lenses you used. I appreciate this sort of data.
