At first, the notion to photograph a truly wild lion drinking, seemed like a simple one, provided one knew where to find the lion and where to find water? Fortunately, living on the Western Escarpment of the Great Rift Valley in the South of Kenya, both the aforementioned luxuries were at my disposal. At the beginning of 2006, I discovered a spring that wound its way down the Nguruman Hills, spilling onto the Rift floor, where it formed a picturesque waterhole. 





It was a warm summers evening, with a light breeze blowing across the open plain.
