I was watching a program about Africa last night on TV.
I had never realised that Zebras are so well camouflaged with their stripes.

Grazing Zebra.

Wanna swap Bunko?? Perhaps we could trade off say, 20 degrees each way :) :) :)

It seems to come in all or noth'n doses. Mind you, Our coldest around here is 0 at worst. Normal sub 10 in winter.
I shouldn't complain when we see some of your snowed in up their windows & doors.

We've only got a couple of inches, not like the poor buggers over on the East coast of the U.S. That's proper snow!
Keep cool Bunko :thumbup:

Alright, it's me again....now that I have had a proper look at it, it appears to be and is, pretty fricking neat!! How did you get the "See-through" effect? I take it that you were participating in and with a pretty good Safari/outfitter endeavor. You really are one lucky fellow. Or one lucky idiot, goober, booger, putz (That's only when you screw-up), yukyuk, and that is all. Farmer....I hope that you were talking about Africa and not a "Canned" hunt here in the States. I have done both...and I to this day cannot to this day decide upon which I would consider better. Yes, for me the plane trips suck, but it is the whole experience of the adventure that keeps me going back. That is why I took my Grandson on a combo Safari last year, and perhaps he will like to feed the villagers if he ever harvests a critter. Now a-days I can't honestly shoulder a needed weapon and I sure as heck am not to ask the little booger to do it. I take pictures now, and that is why I ship the whole family out to take pix from here in the States to the real world. Good Night.

Sorry to disappoint, I've never been on Safari but I've been to Safari parks in the UK. The original Zebra pic is one I've blagged off Google images!
I had been watching a documentary called Africa and thought it'd be fun to make the white stripes see through, I did it by selecting all the white stripes using Select/colour range in CS4 then cloned over them using the savanna in the original shot. That didn't look like I wanted so I did it again but with the black stripes out. That worked better. :)
Thanks for looking and commenting :thumbup:
