Facebook Pic of the Week: 28 July to 3 August 2014

During this particular week we had a theme on our Facebook Page that resulted in many awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping photo submissions. We will share our 2 favourites with you today...

The them was titled #PureGold and it was all about photos taken during the "golden hour" - the hour after dawn and the hour before sunset, when the light in Africa is purely sublime.

Our first selection is an absolutely stunning image of a lioness at first light in the Masai Mara (Kenya), with her steamy breath forming a mist around her head. It was taken by Richard Peters from the UK, and you can see more of his amazing work on his website: www.richardpeters.co.uk

Our second selection shows that it's not all wildlife in our community - we've seen some amazing landscape photos every week, and this photo taken from the air using an open-door helicopter shows the Namib desert in Namibia in all its glory. The photographer is James Gradwell from Cape Town, and you can check out his website here: www.photographytours.co.za

We hope you enjoyed this selection. Please share our webpage with those who are also interested in the natural heritage of Africa!
