The second camp in Etosha, Halali, is located next to the Moringa waterhole. I spent my second night in Etosha staying at this camp and watching the waterhole for most of the day. When the Sun began to sink behind the horizon I watched this matriarchal group of elephants drinking at the waterhole. While observing the animals we also had an amazing sunset with an orange so saturated - I never saw anything like it before.

I went to the Sebastopol Lagoon, the smell was terrible. I wasn't able to stay for long. i almost threw up :P But the lighting was great and the water was so still.

This was taken in the blazing sun at the Singapore Zoo-- on a pond covered with giant lilly pads. I was chasing after the dragonflies and didn’t notice the frog until I got home and looked at the image in Photoshop. I’m sure the result would have been better with a proper macro lens, but I left mine at home (the 300mm and tripod is heavy enough).

I hiked up to this very calm pleasant spot. I had heard of this waterfall but never seen any images of it.

This shot was taken near Trogir in Croatia, not far from Split. This hidden shore was a little paradise, with a good restaurant beside it. An hour later the sky was spoiled with a thunder storm.

Within the boundaries of Etosha Nationalpark in Northern Namibia there are three campsites. The biggest of them beeing "Okaukuejo", located at a big waterhole with the same name. I spent the first night of my recent visit last November sitting at the waterhole, watching different animals drink and interact. But not only the animals but also the scenery of the waterhole itself, changing colors during the sunset was amazing. That's when I took this picture of an elephant and a giraffe drinking right next to each other at the waterhole.

view across Lake Hawea, New Zealand, just before sunset. I had hoped for some nice reflections here but the wind was just too strong.
