The Story behind the Shot:
It was a cold morning when we left our lodge. The first thing we saw was the beautiful view of Mount Kenya. The snow-covered peak was clear, with barely any clouds around it. Our initial intention was to find big cats and rhinos, but as soon as we saw the mountain, I knew that I will "settle" for a "postcard" of any animal that will agree to pose by the mountain. Only a few minutes later, our guide spotted a black rhino and her tiny baby. He predicted that the mother is heading to a safe spot where she sometimes lets the baby rest. And indeed, as soon as she felt comfortable with our presence, she reached that spot and the baby went to sleep. All we had to do at this point is drive around so the mountain will be behind her, keeping a safe distance not to disturb them. If you look carefully, you can see on the right side of the picture, the tiny ear of the baby.
Photographed in the Lewa, Kenya, October 2019.
