A bronzed Gnu stands still like a statue, his eye glinting a golden hue from the late sun settling on the distant horizon behind him.

Rambling with the herd through the African bush one afternoon, two young elephants cavort happily alongside each other.

Their heads cautiously scanning their surroundings, two hyenas patiently await their turn under the tree for a leopard's feast.

The earth touches the dusky African sky, setting the scene for raw, blissful beauty.

The young male cub chews at the remaining horns from an earlier hunt, the gnawing sounds cracking into the night.

A short note of thanks to those out there who make African safaris a truly incredible experience.

Their heads briefly nuzzle, then they pause and rest them on each other's backs, providing some temporary comfort.

In the dead of night, a young iron survivor stares back, frozen in time.

The maturing cub softly emerges from the bush, eyes deliberately locked onto the path nearby.

He lay still as a statue. His eyes observing me intently as I very slowly pulled back.

Father and son share a quiet moment in the still heat of the day.

Her eyes tell the story of her days, to the times we will never know.

Scenting the still late afternoon air, the cub king sets the scene for the next generation of his pride.

He stands stock still, staring back at us as we freeze in his presence.

Watching for danger, a wild dog pauses to stare back as it guards its pups nearby dining on a kill.

A leopardess scrambles down a tree in seconds, taking her prey to safety elsewhere.
