Impalas are part of the Luangwa landscape. Chichele Hill is rocky high ground, and during the wet season animals frequently congregate there. Our tented camp at Puku Ridge, one of two camps I stayed at while in Zambia, was not far away, and I saw them grazing here every morning and evening as we passed by on our game drives. The concept of an integrated landscape of animal, vegetable and mineral subjects fascinated me, and I worked on it every day while at the Puku Ridge location. It was the randomness of this image that made it work for me. The boulders have fallen in place over the centuries; the lush blanket of green plants comes and goes with the seasons, while the herd of impala searches for sustenance. Most graze, but some are in motion, while others cast a watchful eye. (Watchfulness is important – a pride of lions makes its home in the same area.) This image offers a blanket of black, tans, and green – the colors of nature itself.
