an inferno such as we are seeing in Australia now.

Pic-and-Word-Challenge_Wk213-Illusions
~~~~~~~
illusion
an instance of a wrong or misinterpreted perception
of a sensory experience.
~~~~~
On the last day of our Botswana Safari
we visited Nata Bird Sanctuary
As we approached all I could see was
one huge grey wall in front of us.
It was the greatest sensory misinterpretation
I have ever experienced.
For the record it was a sheet of ‘grey’ water.

Pic-and-Word-Challenge_Wk212-Expanse
~~~~~~~
expanse
a wide continuous area of something.
~~~~~
If we had visited Botswana’s
Lekhubu Island
a little over 10,000 years ago…
…we would have been in the middle of
Lake Makgadikgadi,
which covered an area ranging
between 80,000 and 275,000 square kilometres
(or, 30,888 to 106,178 sq miles)
and was up to 30 metres deep.
In 2014, however, it was simply acre upon acre of salt
with the rocky out crop known as Lekhubu Island
the only visible destination.
For 360 degrees all we could see was nothing
and yet I would still recommend it as
an overnight stop just to experience
this vast expanse of solitude.
The sunset and sunrise were glorious.
The drive out was a little more interesting
with various trees and villages sighted…
…but still the expanse of that salt lake
was always lurking on the horizon.

Pic-and-Word-Challenge_Wk210-Wheelhouse
~~~~~~~
Don’t have many wheelhouse photos.
tHis wreck was captured near
Cairns in Queensland.
The Camera Club to which I belong took a sunset
cruise around Corio Bay on the Hygeia,
in February 2019.
Our last Group outing in Alaska was a cruise
on the Chena River on the
Riverboat Discovery.

Pic-and-Word-Challenge_Wk209-Orange
~~~~~~~
Oranges of sorts from all over.
General Motors called this colour ‘Jaffa‘.
Most people call it orange.
A burnt orange?
Even the clothes line has orange.
Oranges?
