Nkupe Sentinel
Oil on Canvas 100cm x 60cm
This tree is in Mana
, and overlooks the Nkupe drive .When looking up from the flood plain at the
right angle one can see a hole right the way through her and it often looks
like there is a leopard sitting in this hole .
The Tree is dramatic
and powerful –she has presence over the flood plain that she presides over , and whilst not being as
big as other Baobabs –there is an almost regal energy to her !
When seated at her
base there are the signs and sensations of Africa , the feelings and exotic
blends of the Zambezi Valley ,with a constant sense of peace , a place where
silence is no longer an enemy ,but
a friend .
So when you next have
a chance – go there , walk where the Elephants walk , feel the silence
and absorb the sensations of the valley
, take in the immense privilege that has been ours to be able to witness nature at its best and do it soon , because the drums of “progress “are beating
!
Tread lightly on the Earth
