Africa

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

In 2004 Gina & her sister visited Kenya Africa, and Gina with a Olympus C770 UZ 10x came back with a boat loads of photos that today are still get 100 hits per day. I took 3 of her photos and made a composition of Tree Tops (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treetops_Hotel) a very famous hotel, a native warrior and Gina with her wonderful driver who showed them Afica in a safe and wonderful time.

Comments always welcome and appreciated.

Thanks Folks:

Apprecite your kind words. I made a mistake about the hits. It started out at 30/day for the first 6 months, but is now down to a 100 per week. Tree Tops is amazing place. The rooms face out on watering holes, and lights turn on through the night, and they ring a bell when large animals approacxh the watering holes. Then people rush to look out at the animals. Gina would go back in a heart beat, however, Lee and I couldn't hack the walking, so Gina wouldn't go alone...

If you look close you can see Lee in the middle between 2 warriors.

Thanks for looking

This could be a great marketing poster for Tree Tops! One can have a real African experience and still stay safe and travel in a well maintained vehicle. I agree with a bit more space ahead of the vehicle.

Thank Folks for all your kind words. Will post one of Gina's Lions tonight done in Pixel Benders that looks natural as a Oil Painting.

Have fun

Gus, this looks like a great way to safely see Africa! I love your story and the composite. The Tree Tops might be put on my bucket list:S3:
