Hi Friends

As this year is running out I wish to share this image of the elephants at sunset in the Chobe game reserve in Botswana. This was taken on a sunset cruise on the Chobe river - one of the niccest nature experiences that I had the privilege to enjoy this past year.

This is also to thank all who rated and commented on my photos since I joined TL a short while ago. I feel welcome here and would like to extend friendships in the new year.

All the best to everyone as we gather towards the "sunset" of this year and head towards the "sunrise" of a new year.

The photo is more or less out of camera with just a tiny bit of cropping and a border added.

Hallo Wia,
wunderschöner Sonnenuntergang. Ich mag die Farben und die Siluetten der Dickhäuter in der untergehenden Sonne. Well done !

This is a lovely shot. The colours are wonderfully warm, and the silhouettes are excellent. Love the composition with the bird top left too.
