Lioness in Tsavo Kenya

There's just something about the magical effect that light has while on a safari in Tsavo. For many passionate photographers, the preferred ambiance of the golden hour seems to break its habitual twice daily observance by presenting itself recurrently.

The beautiful light that can be found in Tsavo, cinematographically emphasizes the colours of the habitat with the tawny shades which most wildlife such as lions possess. These spectrum's of red, yellow, green and orange almost merge into one another recreating timeless magical hour conditions.

This Tsavo lioness for example is surrounded by the surreal effects of these naturally blending colours. 

Love and Light,

A lion’s tongue is no less different in design to that of a house cats, with the exception that its sheer size and heaviness would make a lions tongue as rough and harsh as sandpaper! But why is the lions tongue so rough and how is this beneficial?

The cats filiform papillae which is located on the tongues dorsal surface, is the main reason for the roughness, and these can also be compared to barbs since they face backwards in the direction of the throat.  Having a barbed tongue is beneficial to the lion for a number of reasons.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
