A giraffe ambles into the sunset on a hilltop in a remote part of northwest Namibia. I've always loved these animal "walking into the sunset" shots, and the giraffe makes for an especially beautiful #silhouette. This was after a beautiful day of game driving where we saw desert elephants, desert lions, and a ton of other animals well-adapted to the harsh environment in this region. Stopping the land rovers, listening to the sounds of nature, and watching this giraffe walk into the golden hues of sunset was a perfect, and peaceful, way to end a beautiful day.
