Africa VIII: Stars on Barafu

Hi, back after a long hiatus. Housemanship really takes up a lot of your life..

The photos below were taken on Camp Barafu, the last campsite on Mt Kilimanjaro before the summit. I had to stand outside my tent in the freezing subzero temperature, holding my tripod steady against the fierce winds. The 30 second exposure seemed to take forever, but I think the end results were worth the effort...
