Photo of the Day
We were taking shots in the south west of Serengeti, Tanzania. This location is known as 'Hidden Valley' and was full of animals from the great migration. This pregnant zebra came out of the dust for a second to take a look at me. She was the perfect poser! Head straight, ears up, legs in line, tail accentuating her curving body while the herd in the background created the perfect stage of dust!
