Basking In The Sun's Glow was captured on one the most memorable days personally. It was my first time watching the sunset over the beautiful Zambezi river. There were a lot of wildfires in the areas surrounding, which caused a beautiful smog to enrich the deep oranges of the sun. A hippo kept bobbing its head in and out of the water, and I decided to try and capture it perfectly aligned with the sun's reflection in the water. After some minutes of trying and a gin and tonic getting warm, I captured this image and made my way.
