ADOPTED by NANCY SUNDQUIST It's 3:00 in the morning and our intrepid group of wildlife photographers are all up having a cup of coffee and a quick bite to eat before taking off to capture the amazing wildlife of, Namibia, Africa on film. I learned that the best photos are taken during the early morning and late afternoon hours. The light during that time of day creates cast shadows and a moodier atmosphere. Also, during the heat of the day everything finds shade to take a nap in...including us! As we were making our way to the waterhole that we were planning to station ourselves at, for the morning, this magnificent animal was seen ambling along beside us in the early dawn's light. In search of the same water hole, I'm sure, as life in this arid country revolves around finding water, or die. I painted this in honor of EARTH DAY to honor the largest mammal to roam our planet. We must take care of our Mother Earth and the species that habituate it. I fell in love with the sights and sounds of this living moonscape and feel so blessed that I got to spend 5 weeks exploring this amazing corner of our world.
