Boteti River




"Floodwaters, Boteti River"  
43x75"

in recent years, high levels of water flowing into the Okavango River from the Angolan highlands have pushed into the interior of the country
suddenly dry and fossil river beds are flowing once again with bright water
massive flocks of quelea (seed eating birds) swirl around the riverine trees
and the Kalanga cattle herds congregate on the white sand
