    Default Africa

    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 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

    Gus

    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
