[Leica] More from Tanzania

[foto at marcdufour.net (Marc Dufour)]

You can't imagine the lot of dust there is...
The cameras were hidden under a Masai cape, leaving this shellter only at
the moment to take pictures.
Besides it, as many other creatures, the lion's color is part of it's
camouflage.
The guide had a trully special eye to detect'em  :-)

I was thinking about this one: IMG_2430 :-)

So how come the "King" is so gray? Dust? Camouflage coloring?
