Zimbabwe Photography 2010
I have been away in Zimbabwe for a while:
I am very lucky in that every year I go home to Zimbabwe, I usually spend most of the time in the Zambezi valley and mostly on Lake Kariba, where apart from the excellent fishing, I can spend loads of time on my hobby: wildlife photography.
Kariba for me has it all:
Wonderful scenery including some of the best sunrises and sunsets you could ever hope to photograph.
Plenty of mammals and is especially good for elephant photography.
Birds - This is where Kariba really excels, there is a huge variety of mostly water birds, but if you go a little walk, many land species as well.
If you want to see a few of the photos I took on the trip, take a look at my photos of my Zimbabwe trip 2010

RuggaChick - Super14 Rugby Roundup
A babe that knows her rugby. Hell yeah!
In all honesty she's a bit ditzy, but we don't care.
