There is no feeling like the one of being on safari. Visiting a game park, you suddenly realise you are a weakened, small animal. We are so accustomed to zoos that we forget what it's like to let an animal walk wherever he pleases, under none of our restrictions. We forget the power of lions until one is right next to our car, staring at us.

Driving for hours in open fields of game parks, you feel the power of nature, the strength of the sky, and a sense that God is nearer than He ever was before. I wanted to capture that feeling, and when we drove up to this listlessly wandering lion (a rare sight in the middle of the day, when they prefer to doze) I saw it through my viewfinder: this powerful animal under an even more powerful empty sky. Here we were, two animals looking at each other, both answering to an invisible Creator.
