A peaceful refuge in Northern Botswana.

The sun starts to set.

Another day has ended.

The sounds of humans drift off. The chainsaw stops, the vehicle noise dies down, the music of the day subsides.

But another music begins.

First, it is the frogs that croak their bass. Then the cicadas bring in their treble. The kingfisher calls its mating tune.

The full moon rises, the shadows lengthen.

We sit and stare, in silence, as the true magic begins.
