I took photos of this build a while back but haven't been able to do any editing. After about a year I decided to just post it as is
To God be the glory
The Gerenuk (Litocranius walleri), also known as the giraffe gazelle, is a long-necked antelope found in the Horn of Africa and the drier parts of East Africa.
The gerenuk is easily noticeable by its long neck and legs. They have a light brown or tawny coloured fur. On the underbelly the gerenuk is white. Around the eyes is a white rim. The end of the tail has a black tuft at the end. On their head are scimitar shaped horns which are black in colour.
The gerenuk does not need to drink in the traditional sense. Instead their moisture requirements are met by the water content in their food.
The gerenuk has been described as very humble due to the way they always help each other. Many tribal tales crown them the ‘queen of humbleness.’
This very handsome Gerenuk was photographed on an early morning game drive in the semi-arid area of Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.

A humble Class 142 "Pacer" unit is caught in some lovely winter light as it crosses the Usk whilst working 2L49 08:46 Cheltenham Spa to Maesteg.
Since I had surgery to my leg back in November 2020, this humble image was taken during my first trip out and armed with my camera (unthinkable I know). With my Sigma Macro 105mm lens I was able to venture to a local garden area for comfort matters. It would have been far too difficult to be armed with my usual gear that I usually take out and use when shooting and framing the wildlife. Basically I would have struggled with the low angle-side of wildlife photography as my leg is currently unavailable for low angles...lol. Nonetheless, It was pleasing to get back into the groove.
This winter in Hokkaido has been marked with deep, heavy snowfall. In January, I began a YouTube Channel as a behind the scenes of my photography here in Hokkaido, Japan. It has been a wonderfully challenging new project and one I would love to share with people from around the world. Please visit my Channel to see my journey to capture some of these winter images. Hokkaido is a winter wonderland.

The security guard leaning against one of the 12 main pillars of Karnak gives a good sense of scale. Being amongst giant and ancient monuments is a humbling experience. You feel the weight of the history contained there and it makes you feel insignificant. Not in a bad way though.
Fritillaria meleagris is a Eurasian species of flowering plant in the lily family Liliaceae. Its common names include snake's head fritillary, snake's head (the original English name), chess flower, frog-cup, guinea-hen flower, guinea flower, leper lily (because its shape resembled the bell once carried by lepers), Lazarus bell, chequered lily, chequered daffodil, drooping tulip or, in the British Isles, simply fritillary.
The plant is native to the flood river plains of Europe where it grows in abundance.

Most people are more afraid of a bumblebee than a honey bee simply because a bumblebee can sting multiple times. But I have learned some things about bumblebees that has altered my mind toward them.
Here’s a few facts about our yellow and black friends:
Only the female has a stinger but they are quite docile and you have to work at getting them to sting you. Bumblebees are much less likely to sting you than honeybees, hornets or yellow jackets.
Bumblebees pollinate up to one-third of all the plants humans eat. Bumblebees are the only known pollinators of potatoes throughout the world.
They live in colonies, sometimes as small as five bees as well as larger ones up to 500 compared to honeybees where a hive can contain up to 50,000 bees.
In the fall as the temps drop, the entire colony of bumblebees die except for the queen who hibernates underground during the winter and starts a new colony up in the spring.
Thank you for selecting this humble image for the cover of your excellent group.
