Dalkeith before sunrise

I arrived at Dalkeith waterhole well before sunrise in the Kalahari Semi Desert. Total silence for 10 minutes when I saw a lioness approaching from afar along the road ..Great she must be coming to drink..Not so she lay down in the road 50 metres away ..Suddenly her 2 until then unsighted cubs emerged from the long grass after unseasonal rains and arrived at the drinking place right next to me. I let them settle and only then took only 5 images so as not to frighten them ..10 minutes before actual sunrise over the Sand Dune
