    WOW… I sure would love to witness that some day.

  • It was such an experience, and it’s good to have some nice photos to remember it by. I hope you can make it there someday Jeannine :)

    Lovely shot Scott. It was so so dry when i was there, just dust and barely any flamingo

  • Thanks Chris. Wow really. I’d love to go back and experience it again in the drier months. We had thunderstorms most days when we were there. Everything was very lush and green, but it also meant there was more shrubs for animals to hide behind/within. It also meant the so called ‘golden hour’ at dawn and dusk didn’t tend to occur since it was usually overcast, but on the plus side at least it wasn’t hot :)
