Description

The Matjulu drinking hole close to the Berg-en Dal Rest Camp, Kruger National Park, South Africa, is famous for good photos during the early morning hours (shortly after sunrise). These zebras quenching their thirst after a long winter's night reminded me of the mythical story of Narcissus who fell in love with himself and looked at his reflection in the pool all day long. Canon EOS 70D Sigma 50-500mm lens Autofocus
