I was told it's the really fine african sand fragments floating in the air... I've no reason doubt that unless someone else knows otherwise?

I heard something like that too. We were in Cape Town though so not sure if it is the same reason. Whatever the reason though, they are epic. I'm hoping for more of the same in Bali in a couple of weeks.

My image was used all around the world - and it really was a quick snap with no set up as I didn't have time.

I like that a lot. Good bocher as my mate would say (something like that anyway). Just means the background is blurred & a sharp foreground. :smt017

Bokeh - the quality characteristic of the out of focus bits in the picture. ;)
