[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Lake Kariba is a large, man-made lake and reservoir located on the Zambezi river, about halfway between the river's source and mouth, about 1300 kilometers upstream from the Indian Ocean. The lake lies along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Lake Kariba was filled between 1958 and 1963 following the completion of the Kariba Dam at its northeastern end, flooding a former gorge on the Zambezi River and displacing large numbers of the local Tonga people.

The Zimbabwean town of Kariba was built for construction workers on the lake's dam, while some other settlements such as Milbibezi in Zimbabwe and Siavonga and Sinazongwe in Zambia have grown up to house people displaced by the rising waters.

Bonsoir Claude
une note très intéressante pour accompagner ces pachydermes (wahou je l'ai bien écrit ce mot compliqué ;o) qui profitent de ce point d'eau. J'aime bien la lumière et le fait que l'on ne distingue pas la frontière entre l'eau et le ciel. Bien vu
Xavier

pretty picture,I like the high contrast between the shiny water and the misty sky, you choose the right time while an elephant in the middle, in different action from the others

Claude,
La lumière sur ces énormes bêtes est très bien controlée.
L'unicité du fond est troublante et donne un côté mystérieux à la photo.
Bien vu,
JB.

Hi Claude, Wonderful animals & they look like they are loving their bath, a nicely sharp shot with good lighting & a very good note to go with the photo, it,s a pitty you could not have cut the frame alittle tighter, however still a great photo, kind regards Wilson.
