[Leica] Ranthambhore 1

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Jayanand (and Howard),

your pictures of these fantastic animals are wonderful.
It must be a real privilege to get close to them in their natural 
surroundings.

The last one goes to show just how effective the markings are in 
camouflaging the animal in the grass.
