Facebook Pic of the Week: 22 to 28 June 2015

We ran an open theme again for this particular week - so indeed #AnythingGoes was the hashtag.


We received some wonderful images, like we do every week, which makes selecting one to feature a tough task.

Felix Reinders captured this perspective of a mountain stream in the Drakensberg mountain range of South Africa. See more of his work on his WEBSITE.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 15 to 21 June 2015

Our theme on Facebook for the week of 15 to 21 June 2015 was all about elephants, and we used the hashtag #Trunkated - we like to be quirky and punny like that.

We received some wonderful images, like we do every week, which makes selecting one to feature a tough task.

This lovely photo of an elephant enjoying a bath in the Chobe river that separates Botswana from Namibia was taken by Corlette Wessels. You can see more of her photography on her WEBSITE.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 21 to 27 July 2014

The theme for this specific week on our Facebook Page was all about those lumpy Hippopotamus. The hashtag was #HippieHippos (just cause it's quirky) and we received (as usual) a great deal of high quality photographic submissions.

One image stood head and shoulders above the rest for its creativity and poignancy...
The photographer is James Campbell - and you can see more of his work on his website:

The use of slow shutter speed and monochrome has created a wonderful visual treat here. Well done, James!

Facebook Pic of the Week: 19 to 25 May 2014

Good day, friends! Our theme for the week of 19 to 25 May 2014 was all about water - "Aqua Zone". Our community shared wonderful images showing in some way or another Africa's bodies of water and the animals and birds that congregate around them. The hashtag to view the images was #AquaZone.

This photo by Mike Muizebelt really stood out to us. It shows a Pied Kingfisher hovering over a river in the Kruger National Park, with the sun reflected off the surface in beautiful blotches of bokeh! Based in the Netherlands, you can see more of Mike's photography on his website: www.mmfoto.nl

Facebook Pic of the Week: 3 to 9 February 2014

Well, it's about high time we start putting some updates on this blog. For those of you who follow the AFRICANature Facebook Page, thanks so much for your support and photo contributions. Without you, the page is dead!

We had a THEME for the week of 3 - 9 February 2014, and the theme was "Landscapes of Africa", using the hashtag #ScenicAfrica on Facebook.

Our pick of the week comes from Jay and Jan Roode, whose aerial photography is on display at www.skyhawkphotography.com - if you've never checked out their work, make sure you do!

This photo shows the arid landscape of northern Namibia - the flow of the ephemeral (seasonal) Kuiseb river. Seeing Africa from the air surely gives you a wonderful perspective!
