#079 - Where Beasts Roam Free

Ol Pejeta, Kenya - 2024
 
This monochrome photograph captures a male lion running free across the open savannah, with moody clouds rolling in above. The black and white tones highlight the raw power in every stride—the way his muscles move and his mane catches the wind. There's something wild and untamed about this moment, a glimpse into the life of one of nature's greatest predators.
 
But for male lions, life is tough. Their days are filled with challenges, and their time on this earth is often shorter than we’d like to think. This image isn’t just about strength; it’s about resilience. It’s a reminder that even in their most powerful moments, lions face struggles and hardships daily. The stormy sky behind him feels like a symbol of those struggles, but here, for just a moment, he’s free and unstoppable.
