Golden Glow

Species: Giraffe | Location: Hwange National Park/Camp Little Makalolo, Zimbabwe

By Richard Nickel

As the sun was slowly setting in Hwange National Park, a giraffe appeared at the water hole. As we maneuvered into position the sun provided a nice reflection on the water and everything seemed to be bathed in a golden glow.  This photo was taken on a trip to Zimbabwe with Nat Hab.
