I’m back from Africa. 6 weeks of Africa. We (The U.S) have it pretty good. Every time I travel (anywhere) the most overwhelming emotion I feel is when I get home. Had a wonderful time, but glad to be back in the US of A! There are so many aspects of life that are so much easier here, I’m grateful. So I tried pretty hard to not photograph too much architecture on my trip, I needed a break, but that itch crept in. Anytime I saw something very unique I could not pass it up. This is an interior of an upscale Safari Campground in Botswana.
