Honorable Mention
Under the Fiery Sky
DESCRIPTION
The Chobe river in Botswana is alive with wildlife. One of the most majestic is the elephant, which numbers in the thousands. Botswana has the largest population of elephants in Africa. I captured this dramatic image from a small boat on the river as one lone bull made his way to his evening feeding grounds. AUTHOR
