When on safari in Kenya
and upon your approach to a National Game Reserve you must pass
through an enclosed gate. These little structures are the equivalent
to U.S. toll booths, except in Kenya game wardens man these stations
to make sure your papers are in order. As my vehicle drove through
this particular entrance, the rustic ceiling timbers were alive
with reflected light. All that was missing was a barn owl. As
you can see that is now no longer the case!
