About	This was taken at the Quaggaskop geological formations, in the Knersvlakte (Valley of gnashing of teeth) in the Namaqualand, South Africa. It is a semi-desert receiving less than 100mm of rain per annum. I took this photo 2 days after a rainfall event which wetted the silt in this river tributary. The red colour of the silt is derived from the eroding red siltstone rocks. The colours you see is not altered other than by the use of a polarizer filter during the shoot. Under-exposed with 1 fStop, brightness and sharpness slightly adjusted in PS
