 Cape Buffalo. Like a big, dozy 800kg cow. Unless you bump into one when you're on foot. Then they have half a mind to kill you, just because they can. The most dangerous of the Big 5 African animals.

If not for your notes, I'd find this photograph almost lirycal. All the lacy landscape under a large neutral sky and its king inspecting his domain makes a sort of Kipling story.

I adore the subtlety of this shot. but for all its subtlety I had no trouble find the horn in the composition. everything leads to it, and then the creature slowly takes shape. too slowly to run away in time.

Your series of posts, with a few exceptions, is really a photo essay. It has a cumulative effect that makes it stronger than the parts. Another lovely addition here.

I love that perfect half-moon horn... And then you see what it's attached to.

I wasn't on foot. It's the buffalo that has half a mind, not me. I was in a 4x4, engine idling.

Please tell me this was shot with a telephoto and not a WA lens then - we need you around to record these animals for us. Your editing (as usual) is exceptional Sir.

And so you wisely keep your distance :)
