One question, if I may -- is it good to be called a snapper by the press?

Excellent work, Morkel. The images are outstanding! Congratulations for shining a bright light on the very real threat of exploitation to yet another world heritage treasure.

Thanks Steve for flagging this up! :5
And thanks to everyone for the kind words.
I was especially glad that they mentioned the threat to the area, as I specifically requested that...:bg3:

Mork-man. That first image is amazing. Have you posted it here???? WTG!

[Morkel Erasmus]

Thanks guys and gals... :5

Artie - yes indeed, though I posted a different frame, he stood up twice in this spot. The one in the article is the 2nd "rise" when he was further forward. The one I posted here is the "first rise". See here:
