ARCHIVE KENYA 102 -SUNRISE OVER MAASAI MARA

Sunrise over the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, southwest Kenya; Nov 1977.

Well, a 43 year old colour transparency that resided for over a decade in the heat and humidity of the tropics.  The colours are altering slightly, a little too much purple or mauve in there now, I think.  But does this matter, is this important?

I could refrain from posting this image because it is no longer a totally accurate representation of the scene – or simply enjoy it for what it now is.  To me, the former option would be far more than a tad puritanical, somewhere on a long road to nowhere perhaps.  Somewhere I never want to be.
