NXABEGA WATERS AT SUNSET
“The sun setting, reflecting our shape in shadows on the tall reeds as we passed, then 'sundowners' while floating amid lillies now closed from the faded light. Sitting and sipping in silence, the only sounds the noises of the African bush. Moving as the pale blue sky fades to violet and pink, then to orange, indigo and, finally, the African starlit sky.”
Patrick Cantwell
