Garden of Eden

I am increasingly drawn to trying to capture animals in their environment, particularly when they are as beautiful as this in Namunyak conservancy in Samburu in Northern Kenya. This is home for the Reticulated Giraffe, a species of giraffe I had never photographed before. On this afternoon all the elements came together as the giraffe moved across the semi desert framed by the Matthews Range in the background, all illuminated by late afternoon golden light.
