A month of monochrome memories: Stripes

24 Replies

Plains zebras makes excellent photographic subjects, and are regularly encountered in Rietvlei Nature Reserve in Pretoria.

Rietvlei 06122015 (2)

Our end-of-year 2015 holidays were absolutely packed to the brim. Apart from our ten-day visit to the Kruger National Park (read more about our time at Lower Sabie, Olifants and Shingwedzi in December), we also made day trips to five other reserves, and will be sharing photos from those (except Suikerbosrand, which we introduced in a post all of its own) daily through the month of February, in a series we call “a month of monochrome memories”.

  I still maintain that it is impossible to take a bad photo of a zebra, they’re just so photogenic!
