I was told a sporting identity here in Melbourne actually said this after his team lost a game, but I suspect that's a myth and it came from a sport oriented radio comedy show called the Coodabeen Champions. None of that has anything to do with the photo, which was shot on slide film in Namibia in 1997.
Ah, now I know why orange-red colours looked so very much "African" when I first glanced at the thumbnail! :-) Beautiful, Michael... thanks for the post. Regards Nico
