Species: Wildebeest | Location: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
The wildebeest migration in Africa is an amazing site and awesome to experience . It is common to see thousands and thousands of wildebeest stretching into the horizon as far as the eye can see. While on safari in Tanzania we were treated to this spectacular site, as the migration was delayed a month or so due to late rains. One day, it seemed like the animals were part of a moving impressionist painting, thanks in part to the dust. To capture the movement and the impressionistic sense of the scene I intentionally used a slower shutter speed. This image comes close, but missing are the heat, smell, dust, and complete joy one feels at the moment.
