This vid brought back so many memories for my wife and I. We travelled all the way up the west and north coast spending six months visiting places like Port Nolloth, Steinkopf, Springbok, Nababeep and some other smaller copper mine dorpies, Kamieskroon(best namaqua flowers ever!), Strandfontein (diamond diving), Vanrhynsdorp, Calvinia, ClanWilliam (best english colonial town and rooibos tea), Vredendal, Upington, and a host of others. Thanx for the posting!
I saw a documentary on Namaqua land several years ago, and it is said that this magical land comes to life / full bloom every 10 years for some unknown reason. Then after a few months the land reverts back to a dry, barren and hostile desert. It must be the seasons or weather patterns, but when this land comes to life you can be assured of an audio-visual feast.
There is a legend all about the blooming of flowers for a few weeks.
The band NAMAQUA wrote about this, albeit a crazy video, but listen to the words! NAMAQUALAND is on YouTube

Very beautiful, even with bad resolution. I love that you captured the flowers dancing, does well with the music. Thanks for sharing.
