Sesriem Canyon - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |
There is always water in the Canyon but it is inaccessible to horses - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |
In order to water the horses it was necessary to raise the water in buckets on ropes made of gemsbok hide - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |
In Afrikaans the hide was known as a riem and six [ses] riem were needed to make a long enough rope - hence Sesriem - PHOTOs Malcolm McCrow | |
