Today's photo theme: sunrise, sunset

Well, appropriately enough for my last daily posting of Uganda photos, the dramatic skies of Karamoja. People in Kansas talk about claustrophobia in NY because they can't see the sky, whereas I feel more agoraphobia here. In Karamoja, though, the mixture of clouds and sun make the sky an interesting study for anyone.

Here, Venus makes an appearance (the slightly blurred light to the left of the tree) as we prepared to leave for the day. Earlier, we could see the Milky Way, the Southern Cross, and many other constellations. Hooray for a night sky hundreds of miles from streetlights!

And, in case you were curious, here's what I look like with a monkey on my back.

And, as I mentioned to Dad, the (artificially) zebra-striped bulls. These animals are silver-gray; traditionally, the last animal in a bride-price will be this color and will be given zebra stripes with a branding iron (as seen here).
