Skywatch Friday - Equidae Sunset

Sunset in Lesotho provided some interesting material for Skywatch, like this donkey teathered on the side of a hill. I am very grateful that we have entered the digital era, because this fellow was very intent on eating and only raised his head after I had shot many frames.

    This is a wonderful silhouette/sunset photo! I love that I can still barely make out the little guy's face. The sky is gorgeous. Wishing you all the best in the coming new year from Saudi Arabia!

    That is a great unusual picture. I love the silhouette of the donkey against the burning sky.

    Once you mentioned it was your second shot, I simply had to hunt around for your first post.

    This is quite delightful. A wonderful capture for a very patient photographer.

    Well done you.
