2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Species: Southern White Rhino | Location: Madikwe, South Africa

As the sun was setting over a water hole in S. Africa we watched this herd of 7 S. White Rhinos come in and drink and roll in the mud. It was awesome to see them as always, but I was left wondering as the sun faded if I wasn't watching a macro version of an entire species. There a some really great organizations working to stop rhino poaching, but anything else we can do needs to be done or they will disappear on our watch and that is not acceptable.

About The Photographer

I have always loved the outdoors and after dabbling in photography for a number of years decided to get serious about combining the two passions. My goal is to get people to view and see our natural world in a way that makes them want to ensure the continued survival of the beautiful creatures and places in our world.
