Pic Of The Week # 203

Sep 02, 2010 in Pic Of the Week


“Pandora’s Moon Over Central Park” by Thor Lidasen

Nominated by: Ann (Ann Shelbourne)

“…for its lyrical and magical quality and clever use of colour.”

Chosen by: Bilbo999 (Glenn Hewitt)

“It excels in impact, creativity, technical excellence, composition, subject matter, and tells a nice story. I usually don’t like IR but this one really does it for me.”

This photo originally appeared in this thread.

See all the other photos that were nominated for POTW #203 here.

Non-committee members may nominate images they have seen during the week preceding selection (Mon-Sun) for POTW by sending a PM to Dallas.


2011 Ultimate Wildlife Photo Safaris Announced
(Sabi Sabi)

Only 53 days remain until the first ULTIMATE Wildlife group safari takes place at the magical Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park. This trip is now sold out, but we are very happy to announce that we have secured the EXCLUSIVE use of the 5 Star Little Bush Camp for 6 nights once again in May and October 2011.

The dates for these two Sabi Sabi ULTIMATE Wildlife safaris are:

22 - 29 May 2011

23 - 30 October 2011

We will spend 1 night in Johannesburg and 6 nights in Sabi Sabi. Pricing: ZAR29,750 per person sharing, or ZAR55,500 for exclusive use of the suite and your own row of seats on all the game drives.

As of 31 August these prices translate to roughly:

$3,990 (sharing) or $7,450 (exclusive single) - US Dollars

€3,160 (sharing) or €5,895 (exclusive single) - Euros

£2,600 (sharing) or £4,850 (exclusive single) - Pound Sterling

The price is pegged to the South African Rand and includes everything except your flight to Johannesburg and minor personal expenses, such as tips, laundry, telephony and import brand alcoholic beverages.

As a person sharing you will not get these rates directly from Sabi Sabi - they are exclusive to Nikongear.com members coming on group safaris. So please take advantage of our bulk puchasing power and experience the ultimate photo safari for much less than it will cost you to have the same trip with any other safari operator.

If you would like to pre-book your space for 2011 now, please send an email to dallas@nikongear.com.
