Description

I herded these white rhinos of Bona Bona into this formation. Kidding! It was an exceptional capture standing alongside each other in this fashion and my title is somewhat deceptive too. Although they are wild animals one of the cows is quite tolerant of humans and is quite happy to stay near the fodder in the background while weddings are being photographed in the open. It makes for a backdrop as African as can be.
Thanks for your comments and additional info on "A Fallow lost in Africa". It was a good opportunity for me to even learn some Dutch terminology from where they occur naturally.

Incredible. They really aren't ugly when you look at them closely. Most unique. Looks like that back one's got a broken horn.

OMG, how did you get them to line up like this? Get on your mark, get set, go!! I thought only Tarzan and Sheena of the Jungle had these persuasive powers! That is an utterly fantastic, timely and most fortunate capture, Piet! The color of these creatures is different than what I've seen before.

long time ago I posted some sea gulls all lined up and people asked how did I do that. it was just dumb luck and being in the right place.also it was cold and they just was not going to move unless it came hell or high water. considering they cooperated for you, it still is an exceptional capture. they are beautiful animals

Now there's an image that would make a sober drunk do a double-take! LOL! It takes a moment to process and understand, but that just makes it all the more fantastic. Truly a rare shot, well captured and delightfully presented. :-)

lol...that's a great shot, Piet. I like the fact that they're lined up size wise and except from that look so identical. Not one of those animals I would like to run into however. Can be darn dangerous.
