Facebook Pic of the Week: 7 to 13 September 2015

Trawling through our 2015 archives on Facebook...

Our theme for this particular week was #whyiloveKenya and we asked our contributing photographers to showcase their best images from the wonderful land of Kenya. There were great photos of elephants in front of Kilimanjaro, and cheetahs in full chase, but this photo of a pride of lions lazily lounging on a log had to be featured.
