Thanks to Shannon (sister Shannon that is) mostly as well as a few shots from Shannon (girlfriend Shannon) and myself, we ended up with a huge pile of pictures from our recent trip to Southern Africa. Below are the links to those pictures.
I am going to write another couple posts about our time in Africa. There is so much to talk about… why I hunt and the ethics of hunting, the crisis in Zimbabwe, the violence/rioting in South Africa, REAL racism, and more. I want to post on all these topics. But before we get into the “deep” discussions about Africa, lets have a bit of fun with the pictures we took!
So for those that may not know, we spent just over three weeks in Southern Africa. Most of this time was spent in South Africa but we also spent time in Zimbabwe and are least able to officially claim we have been to Botswana and Zambia as well. Africa is a place of immense beauty, a place where nature is raw and real in a way that is hard describe… even if you have been to Yellowstone and Alaska. Pictures do the place little justice, but we did our best.
So, here are some links to the pictures we took. In total, we took about 2000 pictures. I deleted the really terrible ones and managed to get down about 1200. From there I have done my best to find a smaller set of representative photos. I ultimately got down to a set of 245 photos from the “non-hunting” portion of our trip (which included time in a South African bush camp in Madikwe Game Reserve; our visit to Sun City, South Africa; and our trip to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Here is the link to the Flickr “collection” of these photos, which is separated out into three “sets” in accordance with these areas:

There are no hunting photos in that collection. For those interested, here is a link to the hunting photos on a separate site:
