Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the real beauty spots of Uganda. Even with the strange dark mark on my lens that would eventually go away, I managed to take some of my favorite pictures. It is astonishing how perspective shapes perception. My visit to Q.E. was sandwiched between the chimp trek in Kibale and my visit to the gorillas in Bwindi. At the time this park didn't seem all that remarkable. Now as I look back on it, I can really appreciate Queen Elizabeth's richness of wildlife and diversity of landscape.
