A moment at dawn in the albida (winterthorn) woodlands of the Mana Pools floodplains along the banks of the Zambezi river. A herd of impala wakes up for the day's grazing. This photo was taken on foot right behind our camp.

This is one of my photos in my personal review of my photographic journey in 2016:

Delightful shot Morkel. Almost looks a bit "English " !! Good to see you kept the sun in.

A magical scene, Morkel. I can see why this was one of your more memorable moments of the year. I do love how the sunbeams create a spotlight while the edges of the frame remain dark.

Beautiful, hard to get this shot but you achieved a memorable image here. That one impala is just in the right spot. I love the feeling here of glimpsing in on the animals.
