EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the serene beauty of adult hippopotamuses as they indulge in a refreshing bath at sunset in Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe. The warm hues of the setting sun cast a golden glow over the tranquil waters, creating a mesmerizing scene that is straight out of an African dream. In this snapshot of wildlife in their natural habitat, we witness these magnificent creatures gracefully gliding through the lake's calm surface. With their massive bodies partially submerged, they exude both power and grace as they navigate through the water with ease. The reflection of the surrounding trees adds to the ethereal ambiance, enhancing our connection to nature's wonders. The image serves as a poignant reminder of not only Africa's rich biodiversity but also its responsibility to protect endangered species like the hippopotamus. These gentle giants face numerous threats due to habitat loss and poaching, making it crucial for us to appreciate and conserve their existence. Michael S. Nolan skillfully captures this extraordinary moment where land meets water and day transitions into night. This photograph transports us to Lake Kariba—a sought-after tourist destination known for its stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife—allowing us to experience firsthand one of nature's most captivating spectacles: an evening swim by these awe-inspiring creatures amidst an enchanting African backdrop.
