"ALANT" me baby!
Sweet! I did a looksee through and I can't find any of my pics where the animals are really visable... but I know there are some there even if its just scattared impala.
I pretty much did the same thing:
"...I know that a few of those tiny black specks are hippos down in that river..." etc.
Where is this pic from? that looks like a boabab tree?
Its from Tanzania last month (Nov 08); In looking at the terrain, colors, flower & fauna, I'm 99% sure that this image was taken on the final approach into the airstrip at
Ruaha National Park. On this trip, we did Ruaha National Park, Katavi National Park and Selous Game Reserve.
Yes, that is a Boabab tree on the right - - and I think there's also a second, smaller boabob on the left too. The region had just started getting their 'Short' rains, so areas were starting to green up and the boababs intermittantly coming into leaf & blooming, even though the water level in the Ruaha river was still nearly zero.
I'm currently ~1/3rd of the way through my photo import of roughly 3,000 new images from the trip, so I'll be busy peeping & sorting through New Years.
