Facebook Pic of the Week: 18 to 24 May 2015

Our theme for the week of 18 to 24 May on our Facebook Page was #InColdBlood.

It was all about cold-blooded animals (specifically reptiles, amphibians and fish). We asked our community of photographers to show us creative and compelling photos of these animals which are often ignored on platforms such as social media.

We received many great submissions, but this low angle photo of an African Rock Python swallowing an impala whole stole the show a bit. It was taken by Fred von Winckelmann, and you can see more of his work on his WEBSITE.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 4 to 10 May 2015

The week of 4 to 10 May saw us host an #AnythingGoes week on our Facebook Page. This "open theme" always evokes such a wide range of quality submissions, that choosing one to feature is a daunting task.

William Steel shared this gorgeous photo of a Dung Beetle doing what it does best...roll dung! It's not often we get to feature the smaller critters of Africa, so this was an apt choice. You can see more on his FACEBOOK PAGE.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 27 October to 3 November 2014

Our theme for this particular week was a goodie - #PowerPortraits. Our community members posted their powerful portraits of Africa's wildlife, birds and insects to the AFRICANature Facebook Page and we had a hard time choosing a favourite...

In the end, the low angle and high key processing on this elephant photo made it stand out. The photographer is Amanda Marais, and you can check out more of her work on her FACEBOOK PAGE.
