A new day, a new creation…
Dawn breaks as the sun rises into the night,
The familiar cry of a fish eagle as it glides effortlessly over a mirror-still lake,
Groggy-eyed impala wake with relief, to have made it through another night.
As the heat intensifies and sun approaches its peak, the animals move slowly towards the lake, zombie like and to a silent drum beat, they move in herds, cautiously, towards an even greater fate.
Patiently awaiting them in the swaying grass… lies the true king.
Dusk… the sun melts further and further into the horizon, the fish eagle cries its last cry. Another day draws to a close.
Africa has cast its spell.
