I photographed this termite mound that was near a waterhole in Moremi Game Reserve (Botswana) where we had our pre-brunch tea the morning of August 23, 2012. We'd left Xakanaxa Camp just after sunrise via a safari vehicle to bird and look for big game. The rule here was not to wander away from the vehicle and the rest of the group....anything could be lurking in the tall grass. Temperatures were in the low 80's with clear sunny skies. I liked the different colors and unique shapes of the termite mounds and thought they made an interesting composition.
