The East African Sky
Sunset, Maasai Mara, East Africa
Usually in the evenings, when driving through the Mara, I am stopped to check the broken bonnet on my car. But there are times, like now, I stop completely to watch the sun fall behind the horizon. Standing in the tall grass is a time to be brave, as the temperature drops and you realize night is just upon you.
Watching the sun I feel like I am standing at the edge of the earth, swallowed completely by the African sky. But that moment is so brief before darkness falls. When the darkness comes it is a new world. The tall grass hides the predators of the night. It is time to stay keen the very moment the sun slips away. Now a new adventure of darkness begins.
The Sausage Tree
The "Sausage Tree Pride" relaxing under the very sausage tree they would lie under as tiny cubs. Grown now they watch over the plains in search of the zebra that they are so fond of.
