entry description
African Eagle Owl: I captured this image in the Okavango Delta region of Botswana one evening in May, 2023 as we were driving back to our camp after sundown. My guide had a spotlight and we were casually checking for animal activity as we drove when we came upon a huge African Eagle Owl perched on a dead tree. The angle of the light allowed me to capture a beautiful silhouette of the owl and a portion of the tree so that they appear to be floating in the air.about the photographer
Jim began exploring photography in 2007 as entertainment on weekends during long business trips to Europe and Asia. Jim ventured deeper into photography after retiring and continues to hone his craft on the local area's scenic vistas and through an active travel schedule. Jim’s priority is collecting images from around the world, intended to stir awareness and offer glimpses of elements in nature and distant cultures that are rapidly changing, and in some cases at risk of disappearing entirely.back to gallery
