Awww! Very nice shots. Those water buffalo (?) look so peaceful.

I love the "pile" of water buffalo and the single one looking at the camera. I also love the color of the landscape surrounding them.

Excellent shots, Sheldon. You were pretty close in all of these. The water buffalo would have to be my favorite as well.

thanks Mike

Just checking my notes and these are known as African or Cape buffalo - apparently water buffalo are Asian

it was my favourite shot too although I didn't particularly like it at the time because of the bushes in the way

Great shots Sheldon - that first one of the Water Buffalo looks a bit menacing - those horns - were you out of the car or did you use a telephoto lense. Cheers, Bernz
