Northern Cape, South Africa 1983
Taken on one of my poaching hunting trips, out near the edge of the Kalahari Desert.
I finally got round to scanning a whole bunch of my old photos brought over from Seffrica in The Great Wetback Episode of 1986, so these “African” pics will run occasionally for the next few months.
Looks like the back drop for numerous western TV shows in the 50’s and 60’s.
It does look pretty strongly like Southern California, since you mention it. Maybe we’ll see Guy Williams or Guy Madison, or Leslie Nielson gallop by on a horse. If not them, how about Gene Barry, Roy Rogers, or Gene Autry?
That could be Texas from the scraggle trees and dry brush.
Thank you for the trip to Seffrica without the long flight or intimate rub down by TSA
What sort of animals/game lurked in those rocks & trees?
Pretty much anything. Mostly wildebeest, zebra, impala and small game like warthogs and such. Plains game. Also lions and cheetahs, but very scarce. Not much water, either.
Mostly, the land was farmed except where there was no water a all.
