Buffalo drinking dust: Video

I was travelling across country again today and spent the last 5 hours driving in the dark (with my headlights on of course) with the full moon following me all the way.

Moonrise 07/29
Across a lot of the country veld fires were burning. With this against the backdrop of the moon the countryside was full of wonderful shapes and brilliant colours. Alas I didn’t have a camera with me.

Buffalo drink dust
These buffalo came in to drink at Hwata pan a few days ago. In the still evening air the dust clouds just sat there obscuring the whole herd and occasionally the buffalo’s ghostly figures became visible. A very moving sight with such atmosphere. Luckily I don’t suffer from hay fever as this fine dust is a recipe to destroy hay fever sufferers. And lucky buffalo don’t get hay fever too!
