~ When the end-of-the-safari leopard once again walked off into thick brush, Anthony repositioned the vehicle such that we faced the sole limited clearing within it, as he reasoned that the leopard might go there to rest. While we waited for the leopard's appearance, I took these photographs of the sunset sky colors to the west of us. Doum palm silhouettes were a pleasing contrast to the amber tones of dusk, almost as if gazing into swirling armagnac in a snifter. The overall luminosity was low, requiring a shift to high ISO settings in order to capture the fading hues.
