Very interesting view!!! :) Anna

H.J. van Zyl, on August 27, said:

EVA I thank you, but I was afraid to take the photo because they could fall on me! Greetings from Cape Town. Johan

H.J. van Zyl, on August 27, said:

Thank you Simona (by the way, a very beautiful name) I was also scared of these creatures! Regards! Johan Cape Town RSA

H.J. van Zyl, on August 27, said:

Rosa believe me, I used my telephoto lens I was so scared! They remind me of Count Dracula's pets! I was afraid that they will fall on me! These ones are larger than the bats in Cape Town! In the brochure they say in Thailand you get bats with a wing span of 1.8 meters! Grossss!!!! Best wishes from your Pano friend in Cape Town! Johan

H.J. van Zyl, on August 27, said:

H.J. van Zyl, on September 12, said:

Good comment Morrique! No it was an outside camp lapa, but no one sat under it! Very creepy animals! Thank you for the visit and also many thanks to BozenaFr and gatyi! I appreciate your visits and comments and I will soon visit your galleries for updates also!! Best regards! Johan South Africa

Lecleire Jacques, on September 14, said:

Johan i give this a golden star ! Dit is een sublieme opname. Zeggen julie ook "vleermuis" tegen die diertjes...

Groetjes, Jacques

H.J. van Zyl, on September 16, said:

Baie dankie Jacques vir die Golden Star en jou mooi kommentaar! Ja, ons noem dit "vlermuise"" in Afrikaans! While we were there (KRUGER PARK), I read that the biggest bat in the world has a wingspan of 1.8 meter! That is BIG! ..... and I hope I never have to encounter that one!! Greetings! Johan

Very interesting,good shot,Sonja&

Scally, on September 17, said:

I find this picture good as a photo, but horrible as a subject,Johan. Do you know that in the UK a bat has more right to the use of a house than the owner? LOL cheers scally

H.J. van Zyl, on September 17, said:

Thank you for your visit Sonja and the lesson Scally*! I did not know that, but in my house I have some bats but I am the boss!! Greetings again from South Africa! Johan

Thank you all for the visit and comments, Jurgen; Carlo and L.Mariano! Greetings from South Africa! Johan

Ian Stehbens, on September 27, said:

I thought this may have been the interior of your assigned room at a Safari Resort in Kruger, Johann - but I read that these are not your furry friends, at all. As they leave at night to feed, even if you were to sleep beneath them you would rest in peace! that is until they start returning in the early morning!

Kind regards,

Ian

H.J. van Zyl, on September 28, said:

Ha Ha Ian this was luckely an outside patio at one of the camps, I think it was Skukuza! No one dared to sit under it though! Friendly greetings and thank you for your visit and comments! Cheers! Johan Cape Town.

Eva77, on September 30, said:

As I can see, dear Johan, this place is very comfortable for sleep upside down!

Best wishes. Eva

H.J. van Zyl, on September 30, said:

No! No! Eva you don't even want to sleep upside down under these bats! Greetings Johan

Beautiful shot Johan, spectacular! Best wishes, Fai

H.J. van Zyl, on October 2, said:

Fai thank you for the visit and comment, but these bats remain scary! Warm wishes from South Africa! Johan

@Jan de Boer, on October 2, said:

What a nice interesting shot! Is it a garden den?

Greetings,

Jan

H.J. van Zyl, on October 2, said:

It is in a camp site of the Kruger National Park in Skukuza! Thank you for your visit! Greetings from Cape Town! Johan

Víctor Schz de Lara, on October 7, said:

What an inusual shot Johan, I kept trying for a long time to make a shot in flight to one of these bats, but I gave up by the moment, maybe with a little whisky invitation would be possible :) About your comment on "faltal attraction",Johan, the tag "fantasía" means that those seagulls are flying towards the moon in my dreams only, nothing to compare with Laika. But I used the software of my Canon called Photostudio 2000 (not photoshop) only to put the seagulls in flight.

Best regards, good shot & thanks for your comments

Zabb Csaba, on October 8, said:

Beautiful and interesting shot, nicely composed!

Kind regards, Csaba

H.J. van Zyl, on October 8, said:

Thank you Victor for your visit and your 'long' comment! As far as I am concerned your 'fatal attraction' photo is still very nice! I am sorry that I took the liberty to comment about the "photostudio 2000"! Warm regards from South Africa! Johan

H.J. van Zyl, on October 8, said:

Zabb trust me, but I thought it would make an interesting photo and I just wanted to move on as quickly as possible after taking the photo and then get away from these terifying creatures! Best regards! Johan

Hallo Johan dat is een aardig plafond vol vleermuizen.

Groeten Erik

H.J. van Zyl, on October 29, said:

Erik we hebben ook vleermuizen in de Western Cape, maar ze zijn veel kleiner dan deze vleermuizen in het Kruger Park! Dank u voor uw bezoek! Vriendelijke groeten uit Kaapstad! Johan
