Island calcrete pan
An aerial view of a calcrete center to an Okavango island in Botswana
'We were just as surprised as the elephant'

'The central part of islands in the Okavango all have a small pan or clearing of calcrete dust - very saline soil that is white and dusty. This painting is of a very remote nameless island in the Jau area that my wife Clarissa and I were crossing on foot when we came across this magnificent Botswana elephant bull. We were just as surprised as the elephant was when we bumped into each other. To see Jau Dugout Safari a documentary of that journey through the Jau from Tchau to Xligera by myself and my wife click HERE '
