A group of impalas in Etosha park. It was pretty early in the morning but anyway the sun was shining and it was hot.

The surprising white color of the trees is the color of the local dust.

Hi Laurent. Endearing shot of these highly strung and beautiful creatures seeking respite from the sun. Great colours, the harmony more than anything.Nicely framed. Regards. Klaudio.

bonjour,
sur la vignette j'ai cru qu'il y avait de la neige et je me suis dit:la namobie sous la neige???!!!
mais meme si ce n'est pas de la neige,la photo est tres belle:ces impalas illuminés par le soleil sous cet arbre blanc sont tres bien vus.Belle couleurs toutes douces...

Hi Laurent,
That looks quite surprising, reminds of infrared pictures. I can sense the heat, and landscape looks very dry. Is Semptember towards the end of dry season over there?
The group of impalas look very nice on their shady shelter.

Bonjour Laurent,
In the small thumbnail i thought that the white color on the tree was looking like snow, but the photo was under the Africa category:))
So when I read your note surprised a lot too. Impressive to see so many beautiful impalas together.Excellent composition and elegant framing. This photo made me to begin my new day with a smile.
Merci
Sibel

The trees does look amazing. TFS - Vikram

That's beautiful, delicate & interesting, Laurent!. Love the colour contrast (soft brown - white/grey) and the graceful look of the impalas.
Thank you.
