Me too! I occasionally write Trip Reports for the Trip Report forum on my train trips (last one was the California Zephyr last June) but this trip wasn't quite interesting enough for that so I stuck to a Facebook album.

OK, there are a lot of amazing and creative pictures in this thread, including just a few posts up, but this one just made my jaw drop. Nicely done.

Thanks!

Manyara was the last stop on a safari that spanned seven days, six nights, and four parks. It was, by far, the weakest part of the safari, and very anti-climatic after having left Serengeti that morning. We were also quite exhausted by the time we did that final game drive. However, that photo was worth the couple of hours we spent there. It was one of those moments when I told the driver to stop, I stood up in the open roof, and snapped away, knowing I was capturing something that was great.

As a mug that carries a backpack around with a large DSLR and5 lenses, I have to say that you squeeze great photos out of this little Nikon.

Anyone asking in the photo forum "Which compact for travel?" should probably be steered towards you for advice.
