Thanks Nico and Julie. I've been hijacked by a work contract over the past week or two and this is the first day available to shoot something (in a photographic sense of course... lol).
This is just ten minutes from my home and it looks like a semi-desert region as you suggest. (geotagged) Thanks for commenting.

I hoped that we would see something from you as well, Melbob, and you did not disappoint! Thanks! You caught them very nicely in action... and the area reminds me somewhat of the sem-desert regions in the middle of South Africa too. Regards Nico
