The Delta from the air.


Reflections on the Delta.

The Okavango Delta. Paradise on Earth.

Reeds for thatch waiting for a house.


After a few trips, nipping behind a bush for a wee loses it's sense of risk - until that is you look up and see, fluttering just in front of you, a freshly shed skin from an Angolan Spitting Cobra. Botswana 2007.

Wildlife encounters can be close and unexpected. Botswana 2007.



You wonder what's going on behind those eyes. We watched a pride of lions in Zambia lounging near a river bank. A light aircraft flew over, many hundreds of feet up. Every one of the pride looked up and followed the path of the plane until it was out of sight.
