Picture of the Day: Giraffe Umbrella

 

 

 

I took this photo in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. It was the middle of the afternoon and the sun was scorching. We drove past this lone giraffe that was getting shade and shelter from the sun by standing under this beautiful Acacia tree.

We stayed there for a couple of minutes admiring the beautiful animal in complete silence. It was a peaceful moment and one I’ll always remember, as it gave me time to reflect and appreciate how fortunate I was to be in such a location in the presence of such a beautiful creature.
