Star Trails at Quiver Tree Forest, Keetmanshoop, Namibia
If you love Night Photography, then the Quiver Tree Forest is a must-visit. It is a private camping site on Gariganus Farm in the Southern Namibia. The place boasts of some two hundred & fifty specimens of Aloe dichotoma, also known as Quiver tree or kokerboom, which is a species of Aloe indigenous to Southern Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape region of South Africa, and parts of Southern Namibia. The region although only 14 kms away from the small town Keetmanshoop, does have pretty dark & clear night skies in winters. The naked eye easily picks the Milky Way unlike any other region that we have seen earlie, but of course a good full frame DSLR equipped with a wide aperture wide-angle lens does capture the brilliance of our galaxy very vividly.
