My Passport is Screaming to be Stamped!

My thoughts! Hello everyone, good morning, guten morgen, Ola, Bon dia, Goeiemore, Bonjour! Eventually I got some sleep before this Thursday dawned. The windmills of my mind are turning up torrents of water from the core of my soul as you might have read in my previous MIDNIGHT post. The photo I am using is one I had no idea even existed. We have a collection of our favourite holiday photos on our computer screen-saver and as it was scrolling through the thousands of photos this morning, this one emerged! I hadn't seen it before and was delighted with the memory that came rushing back. We were out in the Namibian Desert - This is Spitzkoppen to be exact which is just so serenely beautiful that one cannot behold it with its true magnificence. Hubby found just the right place to put the camera (on a rock) and gave it the 10 second countdown - then he had to jump over a small rock, and a crack in another rock, careful not to fall on the smooth surfaces to stand beside me. While he gets the camera ready, I am expected to do some person placements so that we get it just right . . . his instructions are : "stand just there, no a little left, okay now a little forward - are you ready?" Then I shout back - because its quite a distance . . "do you have the whole arch in the frame?" then he replies "Agge nee (Afrikaans for Oh no!) now you must move a little back, to the right, stand sideways a bit, I might just have to find a bigger rock" . . . . . and so it goes on for a few minutes which turns into fun filled hours while we take SELFIES with our big camera via the propped up rocks! The Spitzkoppen reserve might not be the same again, as our voices echoed far and wide . . . the Olivier's had been there. I quickly made a search in our screen saver album and edited it to be appropriate for the myLot site. Its time him and I went meandering again - I wonder how I can twist his arm? My passport is screaming to be stamped!!
