Well done. One is much more aware when out in the open, going slowly, so
to speak. Cycling or walking are ideal. Your images & those taken by
Godfrey, for example, prove the point. One misses too much travelling at
the speed limits of 50kph on tar & 40 on dirt in a tintop in Kruger.
Trouble is, if one dawdles along at 25, the speedsters get upset. Some
try to solve the problem with "Bird Watching" stickers. Unfortunately,
no other forms of transport are allowed for obvious reasons, although
expensive foot safaris with armed rangers are available. A negative
would be a limitation of the equipment which could be carried?

It seems that bicycling is better for photography than the other way around.
I've had a couple of rides lately where I've spent more time playing with my
camera than actually riding. Needing much less space to pull over kind of
helps too.
Here's a flower I saw on the side of a road. I don't know what these are, but
they are all over the place.

They blossom out into large circles of small white flowers.
I thought this silly string, or whatever it is, lent a nice color counterpoint
to the trestle and trees

There are an incredible number of moss or ivy covered trees around

Sometimes the moss even covers fences and gates
