The day I became a Namibian cattle farmer 👩‍🌾 [S5 - Eps. 44]

In this episode I am riding to a cattle farm in Namibia, where I help herd the cows for the afternoon! As you do of course! This is another stunning and remote part of Namibia where the nearest town consists of just a petrol station, shop and hotel!

Not only Noraly becomes a Namibian farmer for a day, but also manages to provide us with some glorious music which complements so well with the stunning drone photography. Thank you Itchy Boots.

[@David_S52]

My goodness, the ending drone footage was just absolutely stunning!! Then top it off with the music you chose, wow. To think someone can look at the most desolate, vast area of this land and say this is going to be a fantastic cattle farm boggles my mind. Most of us would look and say get me out of here. In my opinion your channel is one of the best on KZbin for entertainment as well as educational. Fantastic job young lady. Fantastic!!

[@zweispurmopped]

1: Last time it was geology, now we're in the cow herding business… Itchy Boots is a topic to include all topics! 2: "The most random collection of foods, no idea how to make a meal out of that!" -Welcome in a bloke's misery! That's daily routine here! :op ^^) 3: You have changed your way of selecting music it seems. And you made a big step ahead with it. Those drone shots of the farm at the end were beautiful, but the music made them half magical. Very, very, very nice! :oD

[@zweispurmopped]

@chilinad You chose to delete your reply to my comment, but the email notification with it included did still reach me. Yes, Sir David Attenborough's comment would add a degree of nobility. But then, wouldn't it be nobility squared? I think the very Noraly Schoenmaker is currently building her own skill and legacy of presenting beautiful pictures of our beautiful planet and our wonderful fellow humans with her own loving and respectful parallax added. She already achieved a basically cinematic quality of pictures and, with the recent change in style of music playing with landscape scenes, a degree of emotional impact of the scenes that is just remarkable. I guess Sir David himself would sit back and watch and listen, not wanting to disturb the Itchy Boots original. There's no one better at what she's doing than Noraly herself.
