The storm is coming . At the beginning of January 2024 there were a lot of heavy storms and long rains in the Maasai Mara in Kenya. After a few days several Mara river bridges were uncrossable. But special weather makes special pictures . And that was exactly what I was hoping for when I photographed this Lion pride in the beautiful open prairie of the Mara.
