Quote: Actually have taken these photos at least two times before posting this trip's versions. First time I took the photos while driving. Amazing how much easier it is to pick a spot with adequate vision in both directions, park on the road and take the photos. Drive off the road if a vehicle appears. My diesel Landcruiser only drives a certain speed but did drive up to 130 kmph at times when trying to make a distance. Usually around 115 kmph. At that the diesel engine still burns a lot of fuel. With the laiden roofrack the vehicle did act a little like a boat so some care was needed or it might rock a bit. At night speeds were well down, or at least I tried to keep the speed down. Hitting a cow, camel, horse or donkey with the Landcruiser at 120 kmph would have been a spectacular disaster ... still damaging at say 80 kmph but more reaction time. One looks for cattle on the road in the headlights, but always a bit shocking ti see a cow unseen appear to the front-side of the vehicle on the road verge and others as well. Before the next trip I must install some good spotlights. |
