An African day is done for Kai by busi2ness
Open full image in new tabDescription
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.

I can't remember having seen such a sunset ever. Together on top of it with such an amazing creature you have created something that can not be put in words. But that's what the image is for. Thank you. You brightened up the day for a lot of people with it!

Indeed this shows such a beautiful spirit of a place with such an ancient soul. Funny how the best shots are the ones you stumble on rather than the ones you work so hard at, hey? :-)
