Almost caught up and we are now in Sesfontein meeting wth Bennie and Wilbard. Anna whose small garden is part of the SFP is also there to greet us. She is experimenting with using biochar to grow tomatoes for her family. The soil is so poor that probably any intervention would increase yield but biochar could make a huge difference by increasing water retention and soil nutrients.

Anna's garden is pictured below and gives an idea of the very arid conditions found there.

For the last few days travelling north it seems as though the land and the light have become stronger. Time and thoughts are stretched out, leaving like the landscape, vast plains of unknown spaces. I find the light and shade of these moments a source of great peace and sometimes very occasionally I hope these words and images give a taste of that freedom.
This group of rock sculptures so moved me and I wondered if others maybe ten's of thousands of years ago also stopped and wondered here.
