Wildebeest Silhouette Crossing Glacial Stream Rio

by Kay Wilson

Copper-toned light washes over a glacial stream where a massive herd of wildebeest moves in tight formation. The animals stand as dark, heavy silhouettes against the bright, cooling water, their horns and backs tracing sharp jagged lines. Cool season air hangs low as a pale haze along the distant horizon, softening the far bank. Muscles ripple under thick hides as hooves break the surface, sending ripples outward into the stillness. The water reflects the fading sky, turning the stream into a ribbon of molten metal. One ripple distorts the reflection of a leading bull's head as it steps forward.
