After watching my first sunset on the Chobe River from the shore, the next night I captured the moment from the river during an excursion into Botswana’s Chobe National Park just the other direction from the Namibia and the fishing village. On a day where I drifted passed a herd of thirsty elephants and witnessed […]
Sunset Sunday – Sossusvlei Lodge, Namibia
by Craig Zabransky on August 1, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
Before the tour took the journey from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund across the desert and barren landscape of Namibia, we stayed at the Sossusvlei Lodge. Just a few kilometers from the entrance to the famous and impressive sand dunes of Sossusvlei the group settled in for the first of two nights. The looming tour of the […]
Sunset Sunday – The Green Flash, Laguna Beach, California
by Craig Zabransky on July 25, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
The Green Flash. Sunset aficionados know about it. Some don’t believe it exists, some quest for it like a crusade for the holy grail, and others, the fortunate few, can claim witness to its majesty. I’ll admit I remained semi-skeptical until that day. The day when walking along beach and watching the sun dip into […]
Sunset Sunday – the Brilliance of Baja, Pescadero, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on July 18, 2010 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
I arrived early enough to order a Margarita at the bar. After a self guided tour of Todo Santos I stopped back to Hotel California to relax, and eventually call for a taxi. Inside Jack Johnson tunes took over for the Eagles soundtrack and I noticed the lunchtime crowd cleared, a positive indication that the […]

Sunset in Rustenburg South Africa This Sunday the sun sets for the last time at the World Cup tournament. Tonight a new champion will be crowned as Spain squares off with Holland. Unfortunately, it will not be the USA (again), but my experience at the World Cup will stay with me for a long time. […]
Sunset Sunday – Benton, PA (Happy 4th of July)
by Craig Zabransky on July 4, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
Sometimes the search for ‘Americana’ needs to take people out of the city. And although I love the 4th of July celebrations and fire works display of New York City, to find a unique slice of America, that apple pie making corner, I believe (at times) one must venture to the countryside. Thankfully from New […]
Sunset Sunday – The Chobe River, Botswana
by Craig Zabransky on June 27, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
On a day when I traveled through four countries. A flight from South Africa to Zambia, than a bus through Zambia, Zimbabwe and into Botswana I eventually arrived at Chobe Safari Lodge. After the welcome drink and a scented, cool, wet towel to freshen up, I decided to walk to the river’s edge to see my […]
Sunset Sunday – Pretoria, South Africa
by Craig Zabransky on June 20, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
When you visit Pretoria, South Africa, (or the renamed Tshwane, South Africa) I recommend a walk through the grounds and gardens that surround the Union Buildings. The location serves as the republic’s executive capital, but achieved its global fame in May of 1994. As I walked the grounds, part of me just admired the beauty of […]
