Title: Giraffes of Tanzania
Post by: DragonSpeed on September 17, 2012, 02:44:27 PM
We went on a safari of northern Tanzania back in 2009. Yes, it has taken this long to get these done... Well, at least here they are, the magnificent, long necked animals of Africa....

Giraffa camelopardalis!

Hey DragonSpeed, do you have a day job or you spend all your time traveling the world?   ;)

What's the secret to your life style?

I wish I could just travel anywhere, at any time, but no, I do work.  I just spend more money on travel and camera gear than fishing stuff :D

Money well spent if you want my opinion, I value experiences a lot.

Thank you.  That close up shot came about from a giraffe being too close!  I couldn't fit the whole thing into the frame, so decided to go for the closeup "abstract" ;)
