Description

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Full lyrics

I spent quite some time in the bush lately. This was captured at Buisfontein on the spur of the moment turning around after photographing a sable antelope unsuccessfully. This personifies the spirit of Africa to me and those like Kai, who long to be back with us again.

May you all have a super weekend.
