[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was before the other pictures i took of the sunset. Those creatures creating ripples in the water in the foreground are hippos...they are responsible for more deaths in Africa annually than any other animal. I have done nothing to this picture other than resize and sharpen. The serenity of this place is unbelievable...the air feels heavy with the heat and the views are spectacular!
One really can appreciate the shear magnitude of the African sky!
