September - October 2016




It hasn't been a good month - I have been fighting pneumonia for three weeks, but I now think I am on the mend.

Have had a few photographic outings and I have also started reviewing some of the photos I took in Kenya in 2013 - seeing if I could improve them in post-processing.  This will be an ongoing project as there are over 1,000 in that folder.

Anyway - for this month ....

The first three days in Kenya were spent in Amboseli Park.  Amboseli is noted for its elephant herds and views of Mt Kilmanjaro (if the cloud clears).  Kibo camp was comfortable and only a short drive to the park entrance.
