Re: 2020 - Summer At Hazyview
This time I took the loop to the Napi rocks
I am still wondering how the two big "stones" ended up there
I understand the name and the work the man did, but not why it has been put up in that place
Two picturesque rollers
Finally a small herd of Elephants! Until that moment I had only seen single males around. They were very spread out, but they did make up a breeding herd in all sizes
This brown snake-eagle is only here because of the strange white feathers all over
It was a km away A juvenile

Re: 2020 - Summer At Hazyview
Coming from the S65 and turning left towards Phabeni, there is a small waterhole, almost completely hidden, not very far away. You must know where it is
Today it was time for a warthog family. The mother was a bit confused and continued to go right and left a.s.o. not knowing which direction to take.
Can you see the pied kingfisher?
Also a couple of monkeys wanted a drink of that delicious brownish muddy water
Mixed cattle. There were two tiny gnu calves, but two many legs around to be able to take a shot of them.
Like the other dams, Nyamundwa was no exception........just about nada
White-faced ducks
White-faced ducks with crocodile and other winged creatures
Common greenshank
A cattle egret preening
The end for today is three/four rows of "mountain" chains. I kind of like that view
Until next time

Looks very pretty, Lis! ![[O]](./images/smilies/camera.gif "Photo")
Yes, Ludorff had his ashes strewn there, it seems.
No marmite for the breakfast
...I'll bring you some! 
I like the little pool!

A very kind thought, but I'm afraid it would not be sufficiently appreciated

Re: 2020 - Summer At Hazyview
My SO and I also comment about the strange configuration of some of the stones/rocks when we visit. I really would like to know the answer - probably something any geologist could easily explain. Poor lil' wattled lapwing - looks too young to be all alone
. That is one fat warthog (pregnant?) - also never saw one w/ oxpeckers 
Have fun tomorrow!

No grey line, Ex!
I think the stones are from very ancient volcanic eruptions/plugs.
The surrounding soil has been eroded away?
