This next pic was another one of those forced shots that RP insisted on. 0*\ I don't know what he saw interesting in this scene?? -O-

Image

By now the Nyala had moved to a safe distance and I took the opportunity to stretch my legs and get a shot of the rest of the gang.

Image

The discussion on the van now was about the new regulation regarding cigarettes. RP didn't believe us about the new "reduced ignition propensity" in our cancer sticks. It took a few minutes for him to understand the concept, and while this was happening I had a chance to photograph the stream next to us.

Well done BC \O , that is the correct answer to Leachy's second trivia question. Anybody want to have a go at the first one? O**
