These are wonderful. I hope you'll share more - a lot more. You were lucky to have such clear skies.

We had a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa last month. I organized the trip myself and our safari company (Pangolin Photo Safaris) said we could script our own itinerary if we could come up with 8 people. I found some friends to join my wife and I. Among them were two UHH members - Plessner and Durango. We picked a 3 week long safari that included Victoria Falls, a few days on a houseboat on the Chobe River and both lodge and tent camping.

The main thing I changed were our dates. We arrived in Victoria Falls just in time for the only three nights the Lunar rainbow is visible and were in the bush during the new moon so we had spectacular dark skies to view the Milky Way. Of course each sunset also brought opportunities. And as soon as we took our last sunset photos we celebrated with a "sundowner" - traditionally a gin and tonic just like Hemmingway did. Cheers.

There's been many a blue moon (1978)since I visited Africa with my mother. My memories are recorded in slides. I enjoyed your once-in-a-lifetime pictures, Greg. They are splendid captures. The elephants silhouetted against the sunset is breathtaking.

# 2 and 3 are my favorites. Thanks for sharing. IMHO, #1 is too soft, upon download, but the composition rocks!
