Thought I’d post some of my favorite shots from 2006 and here they are (in no particular order). I apologize in advance for posting so many… was difficult to choose; I’ve seen so many amazing things this year!

Still post processing. I’ll probably be doing so until I go back to Africa! ha I took so many images. It’s crazy. But enough talk… onto the photos!

Palms in Tarangire National Park

I like to call this one, Middle Earth.

In Tarangire NP… I *believe* this is the Tarangire River, although I’m not certain. Someone who is more in the know of Tanzanian topagraphy can correct me if I’m mistaken.

Hippo pond in Ngorongoro Crater.

From a landscape perspective, Tarangire is .absolutely. the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Ever. It’s touted as being second only to Ngorongoro Crater for wildlife population, however, we didn’t actually see that many animals… a herd of elephants, some water buck, zebras (surprise surprise!) and lots and lots of baboons. Actually, Tarangire NP is suppose to have the largest population of elephant herds, I believe, -on earth-. We were told many of them are migrating though. As well, we may have seen more .zebras. heh and wildebeest had we not visited nearing the end of the migration. At any rate, Tarangire was probably my favorite destination on the safari.

Okay, last post for today. Need to do some -work- now!

  

I’m not feeling very motivated lately. I don’t know if it’s due to stress from school and everything or what. I assume some of it has to do with the fact that it’s so drab outside now. Anyhow, I still have tons of photos from TZ to post process, and am doing so; so I thought I’d post some of my spoils since I’ve not updated for a few days.

Lately, I’m really regretting some of the photos I didn’t get because I didn’t have time for whatever reason. When I go back things will be much less rushed.

Cathedral in Bagamoyo.

Zebra Love in the Serengeti Plains.

Cohabitation! Ngorongoro Crater.

Hope everyone who’s celebrating it has a nice T-day.

Tomorrow is burn day. I’ve already backed up my entire hard disk to the external hard drive so now all I have to do is burn about 40gb of photos to DVDs and I can finally delete them from my hard disk and defrag. I’m looking forward to regaining all that disk space! It’ll be so nice for Lenora to run quickly again.
