Watching the Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

            Approaching golden hour on the savannah in Sabi Sands Reserve, South Africa, and this beautiful leopard knew exactly how to enjoy it. Draped over an old log, she watches the sun sink over the vast, open land. There’s no rush, no hunt — just a quiet connection with the world. Nature’s calm at its finest. 

We were lucky enough to share this scene, watching the same sunset alongside this beautiful animal, one of Africa’s elusive 'Big Five.' These aren’t the five largest animals, but rather once held the title as the five most challenging to hunt on foot. Thankfully, now the term belongs to us photographers and wildlife enthusiasts who capture their beauty in the wild instead. 
Wishing everyone a weekend as peaceful as this sunset :)
