Ebony Sunset

This is one of my favorite images. The color has not been manipulated in any way. You see it as the camera took it. I took a number of shots as our boat drifted from one side of the flooded Ebony Grove to the other. This image edged out the others but all of them, taken at different positions, made it look like the sun was moving horizontally instead of vertically. It was my most memorable sunset. Floods during the rainy season left land on both sides of the river still under water by the time I got there in March. The Ebony Grove was usually dry but we were able to take our small boat quite a ways in. It was late afternoon when we entered and the canopy of trees blocked a lot of light. As we came out of the grove, the sun was just setting. What an ideallic few minutes. South Luangwa National Park, Laungwa Valley, Zambia.
