Frankincense Forest

Frankincense Forest

In the Homhil protected area, Frankincense trees dot a plain under the last rays of the setting sun. From high up on the ridge I hear the bleating of goats and can just make out the goat herds below as they bring their animals into the corral for the night. Darkness was falling quickly and we had a long way down to hike. I was with Jeremy Woodhouse, the leader of our photo tour. We joined up with Luka Esenko, the co-leader of the group. We stopped to shoot a long exposure, in the twenty second range, of yet another Dragon Blood tree. It was so dark by then that I couldn't focus. Fifteen more minutes and we were back in camp and ready for our dinner. We would retire early as we had to be up before dawn for more photography.
