On Assignment: National Geographic - Lake Manyara, Tanzania

12,000+ images is a lot of images for 1 assignment, well at least for me it was until this one. Having shot so many images, makes choosing 1 or even a couple of images to share and talk about, quite a challenge.  I guess the best way to go about it, would be to start [...]

the Giants Causeway

the Giants Causeway
