Pete Betts Addo tales

Post by Polentswa »

Great to be back with Africa Wild....I live in PE and have enjoyed Wildlife photography in Southern Africa for 45 years. Addo is 43 Kms from my front door so in the winter months I am there often ...not so much in Summer as for some idiotic reason the gates open at 07h00 in Summer and in the same SANParks organisation ...Kruger Park the gates open @ 04h30...so summer light at Addo is yuch but I do go all year round just more often in winter [img] PLEASE Someone help how do I start loading ADDO Pics???? I have NO IDEA what a HTTP is or a URL ...I am 64 and on other sites ...I just browse my drive on the computer ..done ......HELP and explain slowly in words of one syllable

On tinypic you must choose "Standard" (or meassage board) for size (you have thumbnail, I think)

as your pic is very small

Aha, Pete :-) O/\ O\/ ^Q^

If you don't resize before the upload, then you should choose "Message Board" or 15" Screen


In the forum frame the 1024 pix format does not display full frame.

Here is your beautiful Caracal in 800 pix size (15" Screen)

East Cape Kudu are more colourful and have longer beards than their Kruger cousins ..Hard to believe that is the ocean in the distance near St Croix Island..A Snorter of a Kudu Bull caught in the open on Vukani Loop
