This morning we were treated to a very special audience with the King of the Mountain Zebra National Park at his residence on the Rooiplaat loop road.

Wow! It looks like he was hired as a model to stand in that pose. 😀

What a handsome guy – and I love the long shot. He holds his own even in that huge and impressive landscape.

First time in three visits to Mountain Zebra that he deigns it worth his while to show himself to us.

What blissful shots, Dries. There are days when my heart aches to be in Africa (it’s snowing here at the moment). One could almost step into the wide landscape shot – like Alice through the Looking Glass. Perhaps I’ll give it go – step through my screen. Look out, I’m coming 🙂
All the very best to you and yours for 2021.

Happy New Year, Tish!
You know when Africa’s gotten into your blood there’s no way to get rid of it. Better feed that urge and come visit as soon as current circumstances allow.

Planning our next trip into the wilds of South Africa has the same effect on me, Tish. Helps me look past the doom and gloom of the pandemic.
