No matter where one goes in South Luangwa National Park, wildlife abounds on its roads and tracks. This warthog and francolin are keeping in step with their shadows near the Mushilashi River. I have used abstraction here to involve the imagination of the viewer. Rather than describing the appearance of these creatures (you can always consult a wildlife guide for such illustrations) I am suggesting nature at work here – with the large played against the small in an incongruent scale relationship. Neither the warthog nor the bird are mindful of each other. Each marches to its own stately beat, while the man-made track slices diagonally across their paths.
