Big cats are great. I got sprayed in the face by a tiger who was well annoyed at being looked at. I don't blame her. I might have done it myself..

Time for bed, midnight, night night, sweet dreams Tweed I was surprised at how quickly they opened for me, because my computer is usually quite slow. Great photos! Was the lion yawning or roaring? Joy Nic must have a fantastic zoom lens to get those closeups. Again jealous!  Such amazing pictures.~~~~~~~~ Yes, truly amazing pictures. Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Nic. MaryL

Interestingly, a couple of days before Nik posted these urls, a friend on another newsgroup posted the url to see photos from his African Safari. Joy

That was a luxury safari, really nice accommodation and gourmet food & wine, you can do it a lot cheaper than that. The first time I went in 1989, I camped in pup-tents and our group cooked over open fires :-) -- Nik Simpson

What absolutely fantastic photos! Thanks, I hope you enjoyed looking at them as much I enjoyed taking them :-) They downloaded fine for me and I'm using an old RISC OS machine which has neither java script or flash player and can have trouble sometimes with items that PCs can handle. then I have to use my laptop. Wow, that's not an old machine that's vintage ;-) -- Nik Simpson
