A Word a Week Photography Challenge-Chilled

~~~~~

My contribution for this week’s

 Word of the Week Challenge…

Chilled

~~~~~

I took these photos with MGW’s iPhone…

from the comfort of a Qantas 747 during our flight to Africa.

It was the first time many of us had seen the Antarctic.

I don’t know what the temperature was on the ice-pack,

but it was said to be around a chilly minus 50 degrees Celsius, or colder,

at 30,000 feet by the plane’s information panel in our seats.

Travel Theme.

In north-east Botswana there is a lodge named Elephant Sands…
where elephants come to drink, not from the muddy pool of water

but from an invitingly fresh, cool, clear bore water bubbling up at this elephant’s feet.

Whether it be mid afternoon, or…
after dark…
or in the early morning sun, the elephants come,

take turns to drink and quietly leave.

This one left via our ‘chalet’.

Just wish we had been over there.

Weekly Photo Challenge-Night-Time

My contribution for this week’s challenge…

Night Time

~~~~~

While on our recent safari we had some nocturnal visitors in our camp.

Courtesy of automatic cameras, little light

(making it difficult for the operator see what was in focus),

and you can just make out these impala.

One of our tents in the bottom left corner.

Shenzi is a bit easier to distinguish.

He did not mind being the star attraction…

and had a good sniff around for any morsel which we may have dropped, before…

slinking off into the darkness and the next camp site.

The tap was only a few feet from our tents

and used for cleaning teeth, water for kettle and so on.

The ablutions block is another twenty metres past Shenzi.

 In every group there is someone who is a bit shy.

As we had camped on what our guide had told us was the

hippopotamus and elephants track,

it was no surprise when this gentle giant politely

made its way around our camp

to avoid disturbing us.

But what a thrill it was to see these animals.

A late contribution this week.

To have an animal so strong and yet so gentle drinking only about

twenty metres from us was a fascinating experience

If there is not any blue in the first photo…

Sunset over the Chobe River, Botswana.

If my memory is correct, the far shore is Namibia.

It felt unusual being able to look into another country.

Hope you enjoyed.
