Windswept Lion, South Africa, 1995

"On the windswept frontier between two nations, a lion patrols the dry Nossob riverbed, center of a vast refuge for big game. Here South Africa's Kalahari Gemsbok National Park is joined by a fenceless border with Botswana's larger Gemsbok National Park."

—From "A Place for Parks in the New South Africa," July 1996, National Geographic magazine
