As we drove out of our Lodge in Amboseli on the final morning of our stay , at sunrise, there was a herd of Buffalo heading for the waterhole, kicking up the ever present dust. Their hooves made a wonderful sound in the silence.The scene lasted only seconds, but will be forever imprinted on my mind. The eternal struggle for existence,of many animals, to reach water, without being attacked by a predator, crossed my mind as I frantically shot my image.
You snooze, you lose !!
Mount Kilimabjaro peers through the thick dust, barely discernable.
Taken on a Canon EOS40D. Bigma lens at 417mm,iso 400, f9.5, 1/750sec, balanced on bean bag thru open window. RAW file processed in Photoshop CS3.

Incredible capture!! Great depth and imagery in this shot (Is that Mt. kilimanjaro faintly outlined in the background or is it an optical illusion?)
