Framed Antelope Art

Antelope are like the deer of Africa. They eat grass, have horns on their head, and live in very large groups. Their main predators are lions, leopards, cheetahs, and Man. But there are many people who do not want to hunt them, and instead capture them as framed antelope art.

Hunting with a camera is always better than hunting with an arrow. There is no other way to capture the majesties of this animal than by camera. In this framed antelope photograph, “Topi Antelope on Termite Mound, Maasai Mara, Kenya,” by Adam Jones and Danita Delamont, we see a moment where an antelope is standing on a termite mound, surveying its environment for predators. It is looking at the photographer, wondering who, or what, that strange creature is. Above is a clear blue sky free of clouds, and an open field, bringing a feeling of freedom to the picture.
