A trio of springbok

my paw

amateur v professional

i came across one of these photographs in a feed from photonet, and know pretty much the spot in etosha (fischer's pan just beyond twee palms, about 12k from namutoni), from where i took the other three photographs : no prizes for spotting the professional. just look at the light and shadow, gradations versus...well blandness !

lions into whose eyes i have looked

i remember each moment as if it were yesterday

one fine photograph

taken in oregon (from panoramio)

an etosha sunset

gemsbok changing gears

according to my calculations the oryx on the left won the race in a photo-finish...an everyday scene at a waterhole in etosha where the gemsbok (aka oryx) never fail to liven things up; the zebra, girafe, wildbeeste march in from all parts at a sedate pace; as do the gemsbok (second photo) until the mood takes them to change gears; obliging the impala to take evasive action.
