this beautiful male was seen in Enonkishu Conservancy in the Greater Masai Mara ecosystem, Kenya
Grant's Gazelle is significantly larger than its much better known relative, the Thomson's Gazelle which is a very common sight in the Serengeti - Masai Mara region.
These Grant's gazelles are less dependent on water than Thomson's.

About 9 miles out of Queensgate yard in Cincinnati, but only a few miles south of the one-time L&N hub at Decoursey, KY, is Grants Tunnel on the double track "CC" sub of CSX. The initial single-track tunnel was constructed around 1853. The second, parallel bore was constructed in 1912. This train is bound for Knoxville, and eventually Atlanta.

The Grant's gazelle (Nanger granti) is a species of gazelle distributed from northern Tanzania to South Sudan and Ethiopia, and from the Kenyan coast to Lake Victoria. Its Swahili name is Swala Granti. It was named for a 19th-century Scottish explorer, Lt Col Grant.
The Grant's gazelle looks similar to a Thomson's gazelle, except it is much larger and has lyre-shaped horns which are stout at the base, clearly ringed, and measuring 45–81 cm long. The subspecies are segregated by different morphological characters, such as horn shape and slight differences in coat colour. These differences are not indicative of ecological separation as with some species. Grant's gazelles are extremely fast; they can run 80 km/h but larger males do not exceed 72 km/h.
The beautiful Grant's Gazelle was captured during a photography safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
This past weekend, I visited a few new places in Grant and Lincoln Counties. It was a day full of shooting that started at a coupld of wildlife refuges (Washington's unsung public lands).
This road is sort of the back way into the ass end of Billy Clapp Lake. It's not visited by much of anyone. The land around the lake is public (both state and federal), but is a small sliver and surrounded by some very private land owned by people who are very loud (more on that later).
But the land itself is beautiful, as is the lake (though a human-made reservoir).
What is nice about this wildlife area is that it's closed to hunting through all of the year. Most other wildlife areas are open to it. It pays to know these things and to know the hunting seasons.

The Grant's gazelle (Nanger granti) is found in East Africa and lives in open grass plains and is frequently found in shrublands; it avoids areas with high grass where the visibility of predators is compromised. They also occur in semiarid areas and are relatively well adapted to dry areas, relying on more browse or leafy material during dry seasons to supplement their intake of water. They are migratory animals, but travel in the opposite direction of most of the other ungulates, such as Thomson's gazelles, zebras, and wildebeest, which are more water dependent. They can subsist on vegetation in waterless, semiarid areas, where they face little competition. Its Swahili name is swala grant.
This very elegant looking Grant's Gazelle was photographed on an early morning game drive in the semi-arid area of Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.
...the tiger was granted 3 wishes; some food, some sun, and ... ...obviously, there was some misunderstanding.

I don't know what caused the odd focus - perhaps a bit of film buckling. It's fitting. I will often stop by this spot as a way to end a day of shooting. I can spend the last few frames and the last few minutes of daylight before driving home in the dark.

The Grant's Gazelle (Nanger granti, syn. Gazella granti) is a species of gazelle distributed in East Africa.
Grant’s gazelles live in standard territorial, male-led herds. In more closed habitats, the herds tend to be smaller and more sexually segregated. Male gazelles have developed several ritualized postures to determine dominance. Younger males will fight, but as they grow older, the ritualized displays often take the place of fights. If neither combatant is intimidated, then they may confront one another and clash horns trying to throw the other off-balance.
This very handsome Grant's Gazelles was photographed during a Photography Safari on a late evening game drive inside the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania.

This is the last photo I'm sharing from my new book Expired, Vol. 3. If you'd like to see the rest, you can certainly pick up the book. I've got some copies left just for you!
Here's what I said about the photo in the book:
I have shot this location maybe a dozen times. It's easy to access, has a number of varying angles, and depending upon the light, can give a bunch of different looks. And if railroad photography is your thing, it's on a regular BNSF route.
The building closest to us is an old service station. There are no bays, so I'm not sure how much service they could handle, but there were definitely gas pumps out front and bathrooms on the side.
The main road connected the towns of Wilson Creek, Marlin, and Irby followed the Great Northern Railroad on the north side of Crab Creek. That road is, for the most part, still there. In Marlin, the road went past this service station. But by the 1960s, everything had changed. The traffic was diverted south to State Highway 7, the North Central Highway. As things changed, traffic and business dwindled and eventually the station was closed.
The grain elevators behind it are still operational and service the greater farming community - mostly wheat.
This shot, the final sheet in the box, was photographed with an aperture of f/4.5 and a shutter speed of 1/50th of a second. The camera was the Chamonix, a camera that would largely take the place of the Graflex (and the Intrepid) for almost all of my 4x5 work.
