[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Specially for Annick. This water hole is about 6 km north of the camp at Twee Rivieren in the Kgalgadi Transfrontier Park and the photograph was taken from the southern side. The quiteness can be heard and almost cut with a knife. An excellent spot for taking photographs of the animals when they come to drink and just to be one with nature. One can also park at the trees on the other side of the water hole. The next water hole is about 25 km away. Because of the sparse vegetation one can see any animals or birds clearly.

Hello Robin! Very interesting landscape. Nice light and colors. Beautiful shot. Good luck!

It must be fun to sit and wait for your photo subjects to come to you. This broad image gives one a feel for the area. It's not a very big watering hole for such a vast area. I'm sure Annick will appreciate the dedication.

Hello Robin,
Amazing how animals get used to vehicles in such a deserted and quiet place! Beautiful landscape with the blue sky reflected in the water hole. Must be fantastic to see various animals coming there to drink.
Many thanks, Ulla

Hello Robin,
How could I missed this one....:-)
Thank you very much for this waterhole without animals;-)
I do appreciate this.
In Kruger you don't have many open spaces like this one...
and you often hear the savannah wind.
Wish I was there right now:-)
Thanks a lot!
Annick

And this picture is coosen because of very special thing. I am almost sure that in this habitat some of my favourite insect were lived - tiger beetles :> (They like sandy ground near the water)
It would be nice to visit such areas some day and to see all this beauty in the wild.
Very nice composition and colours Robin :)
Thank you for showing this photo.
Greetings,
Radomir
