Africa

They say that once you visit the Dark Continent you will be hooked and will never let it go. I have been trying to organise a return trip since I visited East Africa. The opportunities for wildlife photography there is unparalleled elsewhere.

Evening sky in the Serengeti. Th storm clouds were gathering in the late afternoon but there was enough room for a bit of sun to shine through still. This was taken after a great day on safari but there was still just enough time left to go see a leopard.
