Facebook Pic of the Week: 21 to 27 April 2014

This was a tough one! Sooo many amazing images were shared during this week (during which there was no specific theme), that making a pick of just one was pretty tough. We settled on a duo this week...two images of predators showing amazing natural behaviour, one a tender family moment and the other a dramatic struggle for life.

Our first choice is this stellar image by Ben Cranke. It was captured in the infamous Duba Plains in the Okavango Delta of Botswana, where lions and buffalo are engaged in a daily tango of life and death. You can see more of Ben's work on his website: www.bencranke.com

The second choice for the week goes to Brendon Cremer. It shows a lovingly tender moment between a female leopard and her cub in the Khwai area of Botswana. Brendon's website can be seen here: www.brendoncremer.com

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

Facebook Pic of the Week: 6 to 12 January 2014

Carrying on with backtracking through the past few weeks, now that the blog is functional and on a mission...

Hey - forgot to mention - the AFRICANature Facebook Page was launched pretty much exactly a year ago! What a journey...here's to more growth and more amazing images being showcased to the world by our amazing community of photographers in 2014.

Back to the topic at hand...
Every 2nd week we have a fun little theme going on. During the week of 6 to 12 January 2014, the theme was "Silhouette Superbowl", hashtag #SilhouetteSuperbowl. There were some amazingly moody and unique images submitted during that week - but one took the cake. The perfect confluence of planning, preparation, luck and execution on the part of the photographer.

Charl Senekal is the creator of this masterpiece. You can see more of his work as he shares it on the Facebook page of the Zimanga Private Game Reserve which he manages.

We hope you enjoy this one! Have a great day.
