A herd of African Cape Buffalo waits out a late afternoon rain in South Luangwa National Park. We stayed fairly dry -- our vehicle had a canvas top, and we kept our cameras under our rain ponchos. There are significant advantages to visiting Zambia during its wet season: more colorful images, fewer tourists, and lower prices at the lodges and camps that remain open. This image is another example of dominating an image with context, and using the subject itself in smaller scale to carry significant meaning. The herd is reduced to distant black hulks. It is the driving rain and skeletal trees that provide both context and meaning here.
