Wide open Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

As part of their annual migration Wildebeest and Burchell's Zebra graze in the wide open savannah of Masai Mara National Reserve - however they will always be under the watchful eye of not only preying lions but also humans with their binoculars and zoom lenses.

This photo is a repost - I removed a vehicle as suggested.

Hi Marlene,

I think removing the vehicle helps greatly as it takes that touch of modernity or human intervention away from this pristine wildlife environment.

Excellent colors and the long panoramic look works well here.

Thanks for sharing

Hello Marlene,
now this beautiful photo looks absolutely "pre-historic" :)) No vehicles, no trace of human presence whatsoever! Humans simply were non-existing yet, at that moment!
Doesn't it remind you of the story "A Sound of Thunder" at least a little? ;)
Best regards,
Elena

hello Marlene

I am fully impressed with a view like this, of safari on nature reserve and with a herd of animals grazing on the grass and facing the cycle of nature chain. The wide view is really great to show the open space as in your title, and the repost is a good one, even though the vehicle is acceptable to me and really too far to cause any distraction. Good work.

Greetings from Borneo.

Hi Marlene,
what an interesting shot. Really a pot of gold for me. If it is exchangeable,then it would last a life time for the moment well captured.. Really awesome and it will never happen to me. Thanks for this lovely shot.
It is a dream, to appreciate and to look again and again.

regards,
foozi
