Sunset, dust and buffaloes

Late this afternoon we encountered a massive herd of buffalo, making their way one-by-one, along a sandy ridge, out of the bed of the Mphongolo River. The climb was clearly tough on many of the animals, and the dust rising into the glaring sunlight added nicely to the fatigued feeling of the scene unfolding before us.

    Wonderlik!Die sagte gebulk,rustige gekraak van blare,soos wat hulle vreet en natuurlik die stof en die son daaragter.In my gedagtes is ek daar.

      Dis wat so wonderlik en verslawend is van die buitelug, is dit nie Dina? Mens kan jouself heeltemal inlewe in “die hier-en-nou” en dit alles inneem, en vergeet dat daar n wereld vol enorme probleme daarbuite is…

        You show us so many photos that are easily the standard of National Geographic: I hope you will do something permanent with them …

        Maybe one day we’ll get together the courage to publish a book or two about SA’s beautiful wild places and our wildlife. Thanks again for the support and encouragement, M-R!
