23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Sunset on the Chobe

As the sun was setting on the Chobe River, we were fortunate to find a lone buffalo with the sun setting directly behind him creating a beautiful back lit image. The birds fishing nearby added to the peaceful scene as he stared intently at me.
