A Pelican Flying at Sunset

Species: Pelican | Location: Magikmadi Salt Pans, Nata, Botswana, Botswana

Sunset at the Magikmadi Salt Pans. It was April so too much water for Flamingos, but the Pelicans were more than willing to show off in one of the mosts amazing sunsets I've seen.

About The Photographer

Cropped beachselfie
An avid adventurer, Trip Leader, Outdoor Educator, traveller and photographer, I've been taking pictures since college wherever the journey has taken me. I believe photography truly is "painting with light," and don't try to 'capture' moments as much as interpret experiences to create an emotional response. From slides, black and white film and processing in the darkroom, to digital and computer editing now, I most enjoy the storytelling of a good photograph, as a means to share experiences and build connections, to relive memories and define those ever so important crossroads that mark our lives.
