One morning there seemed to be lions everywhere I looked. During the night I had heard a lion roaring just outside the camp gate for what seemed like hours. I made sure I was first in line to get into the park and found him not 10 yeards away but at 4:30am, with heavy clouds around it was still to dark to take pictures so I sat and watched him in the cars lights.
About 5 miles down the road, I found the next lot. I have left these as originals instead of making them lighter to give you the feel of how I actually saw them. I like the first 2 images as they have an unearthly, ghostly feel about them.
Please click on the images to see a bigger photograph.
I sat there for a long time watching them and the sky began to lighten. There was a male, female and young (about 2 1/2 years old) male. As you can see, he is just starting to get his mane.
The sleepy male kept on yawning and they call him "king" of the jungle?? :)
