Thank you General Powell

Homage to The General/Secretary of State - Botswana

Even if Colin Powell hadn't so brilliantly endorsed Barack Obama today, my image was going to be a big cat. But the specific image selection... After his speech this morning, there was nothing else I could choose. Bravo! - not for the photo, for the man.

Why a Botswana cat?

In order to get the most from the "world class" landscapes of Namibia, it was suggested that we get our need (think "fix") for African big game photography out of the way before concentrating on Namibian landscapes. Whoever gave me this guidance, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Botswana photography was a great way to begin our African adventure and the landscapes of the Okavango Delta were very different from those we had seen two years ago in Kenya.

I hope to find that my Namibian photography (mostly not viewed yet) will be as spectacular as... Well, good enough to give you a hint of the beauty we observed. When I get to editing my landscapes, you will be the first to see a few of the most interesting images.

Be well,

Dick
