I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. IÂ want nature and peace around me, yet IÂ do not want to relinquish digital photography. IÂ have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. IÂ do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where IÂ do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet

Marvelous National Geographic worthy shot! This is absolutely wonderful. I agree with the comment about the Merlot, (or Shiraz?) The power you have captured so brilliantly is awesome, isn't it?

Holy Cow! (ok, bull...)... I'm with everybody else. After this I'd need a new change of clothes and something a lot stronger than coffee! But what a shot! Do you know how to stop a charging elephant? Take away his credit card... Booo... ;) Fantastic capture, really...
