Description
I am way too serious, LOL. I had such fun comments from people wanting to take me up on an African Safari and some compared it to making a list like in the movie "Bucket List". Now for those of you who know about the movie, will know why I found it amusing.
My upload today is to tease you further: Have you ever wished you could get this close to a Rhino and her calf, safely, and no, she is not captive, she roams in the wild. Furthermore she has the biggest horn we know of and thus her whereabouts are kept secret for her own safety. I uploaded a bigger than usual version, so feel free to zoom in, there is detail of her udder - something rarely ever spotted. I wonder if this should have been tagged for nudity? :-|
Okay, I quit, LOL! People like PJ, Shari, Spike, Louise, Bonita and Michel showed some interest, we are waiting for you guys. Carin and I can speak American.

This is spectacular~~what a most wonderful foto!!
Unusual big horn, indeed! But she doesn't really look like a she, Piet! :)
Excellent image!
When I was single, I almost went on an African Safari. Things didn't work out with my friend, so I never got there. This is a fantastic shot. The zoom in is terrific. The detail are fantabulous. Another great shot from your lens. Aloha
I would love to have apet like this !
Superb capture! This is perfect!!!
Well done, Piet! An opportunity of a lifetime being able to capture a mother and child like this. Not to speak of her still being around adorned with a horn like that. The texture and detail is amazing. Cheers, Clive
lol having been in a field with an angry bull, I dont care to be in a field wiht a mom who easily bigger then that bull. Safe is such a dangerous term with any wild creature. Great capture.
LOL You make it tempting... hehe This is really a fantastic photo!
The smaller image is beautiful, but the larger image is stellar! What incredible textures, colors, and dof. What an incredibly beautiful image of mother and calf! I hope she stays safe as she is an awesome creature! Thank you for sharing this lovely image and wish I could see it in person, but this image definately makes me feel as though I am already there (a good safe distance away)!
You can speak American! I'm so impressed! I've made several 'faux-pas' since I joined this site as there are such huge differences in meaning between certain words in Uk and USA. Anyway, this is a SUPERB pic!
I would like the to take the picture but I know I could not outrun that mother if she felt threatened by my presence.I will leave the excitement to you and enjoy your pictures. I have heard that rhinos in zoos have their"horn" trimmed so they can not easily puncture a care taker.still the damage they can inflict is scary
Amazing capture superb work hugs lou x
love this, you make them all look so professional
Awesome! Speeking of bucket, I'd probably lick it before I arrived, just concidering how long the flight! Thanks for alowing my spirit to arrive there with each of your posts! ;)
Of sublime annimals my friend One which is much older than the other with this horn. Cheer a stereotype of love of this Nature I adore. Mile mercies ((5++)) De sublime annimaux mon ami Un qui est beaucoup plus vieux que l'autre avec cette corne . Bravo un cliché d'amour de cette Nature J'adore . Mile mercis ((5++))
super shot
A stunning shot of these impressive animals. Excellent details, you've captured a wonderful scene.
Mrs Lubner wrote a lot of what I think and feel like her ! So I'm without words then to add... About the movie I always don't see, It's a climb yes to your pics when I look at the web site film : http://thebucketlist.warnerbros.com/ with Jack Nicolson & Morgan Freeman, actors they are great but also ... shut up I love a lot your Mom & kid rhinoceros, could I add this pic in my slide with your name of course ? ***** excellent in full size !!!!! q:) Amitiés Magali
Another National Geographic shot, Piet! Don't tell anyone where she is. I'll settle for your wonderful photo. I'd take you up on the safari, but you'll have to wait until I win the lottery.
Well shot, excellent
Outstanding photo!
Wonderful capture! :)
Beautiful image and lighting!!
Oom Piet this is a beauty.Must say the horn is the longest that i have seen so far.I would also like to join an African Safari Oom Piet.Can i be the chef Oom Piet.
How can they be so beautiful, but they are. And that little one is so cute. But I wouldn't want to see that horn coming at me lol. One magnificent horn and capture.
Most I appreciate on this capture is you took it in a wild. Nothing beat that! Fantastic quality and sure it is a rare thing to see a rhino with this big horn. You brave and pro to get this close to mum and baby.
Amazing! I am in awe. Here I am looking forward to a trip to the San Diego Wild Animal Park... You've got the Real Thing. It must be totally awe-inspiring to see this in the wild and for real. Fabulous photo and thanks for sharing!
That's an amazing photo! Excellent contrast, nice and clear, it's amazing!
brilliant work all round great stuff!
