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.

That’s a good word for it. The soft focus and reflection does lend that aura.

Thank you so much for the ping back! I love your entry, especially the owl giving you the hairy eyeball! 🙂 I can’t believe an elephant walked right pass your tent…we used to go camping with our daughters but never had such an imposing visitor!

It was a fascinating time an this was not the only elephant…just the only night time one that we sighted. Many other animals passed through the camp as well.
