Description

A game drive to see Gods gifts
Elephant at play by the waters edge
Shy buck and lowering buffalo
Towering giraffe
Bush pigs with tails in the air, babies scurrying after
A hyena loping past
The predators wake....
Then stars come - is there no end to
Your glory ?
And the night sounds
And the edge that is Africa
Hidden eyes shining....
Distant drums,
Smoke
African voices.
Ah those African voices
That whisper in the night...

Part of a poem "Why?" by Anon

This photo (with the help of PhotoImpact fixing the moon) concludes my series on Africa. Thank you for your kindness viewing, commenting and all of you I learnt a lot from. Until such time I have collected suitable material, good luck and take care.

You definitely capture the essence of what is so African. Well done! How about a series on the gorges and canyons and waterfalls of South Africa? (I am scared of heights!) VRG
