Giraffe silhouette photograph

A beau­ti­ful pho­to­graph of a gir­affe with beau­ti­ful sun­set. The Giraffe is unknown out­side of Africa and early writ­ten records described the gir­affe as "mag­ni­fi­cent in appear­ance, bizarre in form, unique in gait, colossal in height and inof­fens­ive in char­ac­ter."

    This is an incred­ible image — a hall­mark of trop­ical African sun­set! It reminds me of an even­ing nearly 50 years back when I was hitch-hiking between Nairobi & Mombasa. The last ride before the after­noon ended saw me out­side a sprawl­ing farm on the out­skirts of Nairobi National Park! The scene was uncanilly sim­ilar but with the added bonus of a heard of ele­phants as they ambled on into the sun­set whilst enjoy­ing their even­ing meal of aca­cia & other African shrub! I moved closer to the farm gate along the main road as it was becom­ing dark and it was get­ting dan­ger­ous with all those wild anim­als around! Finally I got a ride around mid-night. It was scarey at the time but the sun­set scenery with the gir­affe & the heard of ele­phants stayed seared in my psyche! Thanks for giv­ing me a free ride into the cor­ridors of my past days in Africa. God bless you..
