Strange things happen to the light in the last minutes before sunset. \u00a0And in Windhoek, during the “rainy season” (usually December and January) it’s even more extreme. \u00a0Every night, there are a few minutes where everything turns a brilliant yellow as the sun dips near the horizon. \u00a0Usually there is a gap in the clouds just above the horizon that results in the clouds going all shades of orange and pink. \u00a0And if you’re lucky, it’s raining somewhere in the distance, which will turn a bright orange haze. \u00a0It happens every night. \u00a0How we suffer here. \u00a0And it’s virtually impossible to capture with a camera.<\/p>\n

But if you can imagine to be someplace really cool or interesting when that moment comes, the pictures will be amazing. \u00a0Best I could do was my dog….<\/p>\n
