We observed her for about two hours. As the sun was setting and clouds were rolling in, she found the ideal resting spot. The glow from the village lights in the background highlighted the mystery of the location and the lack of distinction between human habitat and that of wild animals. My initial thought was that it was a stunning situation, with all the elements falling into place, and I aimed to capture as many images as possible without disturbing or troubling her.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
