In the Delta, we ate dinner and talked with our guides into the night:

around the fire:

But after a few days it was time to leave.  I wanted to see the Delta
from air, particularly to see the buffalo fence which forms the
critical infrastructure component of Botswana's biosecurity measures
to keep the buffalo, which carry foot-and-mouth disease, away from
domestic cattle, which are very susceptible to this serious disease
which has massive trade implications.  The Delta from the air is
incredible:

I took a photo of our shadow as we landed at Maun airport:

The next day we left for Zimbabwe.

First two are M7, f1 Noctilux and TMZ at EI 6400 and 1000, developed
in home made TMax developer substitute.  Second two are MP, Hexanon
50/2, yellow filter, Plus-X in Xtol 1+3.

Comments etc welcome.
