June 19 -30 2001 / Zambia: African Circle Part 2

Total Eclipse in Zimbabwe, and Walking in Zambia
  • deeper into totality, there is little light remaining, and night temperatures, smells and sounds arise
  • the corona at totality and the ultra black of the sun's disc
  • notice how easily the zebra is camouflaged in the grass
  • a brilliant Saddle-Billed Stork
  • what's this? an elephant track in the dirt!
  • this elephant makes a mild threat gesture towards our vehicle
  • weaver birds' nests like Christmas ornaments on the tree
  • bones, gradually returning to the earth
  • a leopard crosses the grass, almost invisible at a distance
  • pearly dusk sky, at camp in Zambia
