A week in the Kalahari Desert provided many opportunities like this with a big red sun on the horizon. On this particular occasion, the haze in the atmosphere worked to my advantage by lessening the sun’s brightness and allowing me to easily capture a non-silhouette shot of the two oryx. Oryx, also called gemsbok, are a larger antelope species. Both males and females have long, straight horns that can be lethal at times — even known on occasion to kill lions.
