The Diaz family just returned from a private Thomson Safari where they shot an impressive series of photographs. They were in the right place at the right time to witness a lion stalking and capturing a young Thomson’s gazelle in the Serengeti. Be sure to click on the thumbnails below to see how the hunt unfolded right in front of their Land Rover.

Wow! That is a great series of images. 8 trips to Africa and I have yet to have a kill happen right in front of me. Perhaps next year . Congratulations on capturing this on film.

The Scent of a Lion: Trauma and the Brain | The Daily Headache

[...] So, I call up some portion of the traumatic memories (obviously, there’s more there than just the chair), and then I proceed to alter the physical reactions to the trauma that I have some conscious control over (like breathing) and give myself mental images or real experiences of safety. I imagine myself with a good friend, or I pet the cat, or I watch the birds outside through my beautiful, room-wide windows. And then I do it again. I’ve been doing this for several hours a week for about two years. Essentially, what I’m teaching myself is how to interrupt the automatic traumatic response. Lion in pursuit of a gazelle.
