The Gathering!

Masai Mara, Kenya

As the Wildebeest migration heads north the thunder of a million hooves falls silent by the banks of the Mara river. The wildebeest numbers swell beside this formidable barrier and the air becomes filled with an acrid choking dust that cloaks the land cutting out the sun and creating a bizarre monochromatic scene.
A vision of hell?
......perhaps as demons dwell in the water below!

One more superb shot from your Kenya journey!
Nice that you have included the distant line of Wildebeest behind the big herd, a final touch for this superb atmosphere.

In view of your caption, maybe straight out of "The Inferno" adapted to Africa! Great capture.
