Description

This sunset was captured while visiting the lion farm Bona Bona recently. I went there to hear the lions roar and this is what they did. They put up a show to my right and it was amazing to feel my heart pick up the primitive beat of the bush. Have you ever smelled an open fire while the bush comes alive?
Thank you for spotting that my previous upload was my 100th, a humble achievement if compared to Kort, Gerhard, Michel and so many others:
