All it takes is one drop

I’m an environmental consultant and I’m busy working on three new solar farms near the Khi Solar One power station in the Northern Cape. I took this photo after about 20 mm of rain had drenched the landscape between Upington and Keimoes. The rainwater evaporated quickly, leaving behind cracked mud. In those cracks was hope: Hundreds of plants had shot up to distribute their seeds and restart the cycle of life. FREDE BENADÉ
