LIONS CAPTURED IN STUNNING WATER REFLECTIONS<br />WITH PIX AND VID<br />By Shuk Yee Tsang<br />A breathtaking photograph has revealed six lions perfectly mirrored in the still waters of a South African watering hole.<br />Sean Weekly, a wildlife photographer from Bristol, UK, spent countless nights in hides across the bush, patiently waiting for the perfect shot.<br />While elephants, impalas, antelopes, and waterbucks all came to drink, each leaving striking reflections of their own, it was the appearance of a lioness <br />and her five cubs that transformed his persistence into something unforgettable.<br />After more than eleven hours in silence, just before dawn, a lioness emerged from the shadows with her cubs in tow. Together, they approached the <br />water and lined up side by side, creating an extraordinary moment of symmetry and stillness.<br />Weekly describes the scene as the ultimate reward for years of determination, with hundreds of hours spent chasing the elusive sight of cats at night.<br />The rare images highlight not only the beauty of Africa’s wildlife but also the patience and perseverance behind capturing the perfect frame.<br />Sean Weekly said, “Nights in a hide are rarely easy. Most nights, I walked away with nothing but tired eyes and empty memory cards.<br />“For years, I poured time and energy into night photography, always chasing the hope of a cat.<br />“Then came this night. A lioness, moving out from the shadows of the bush. And behind her, five cubs.<br />“They approached the waterhole in silence and, as if perfectly planned, lined up side by side.<br />“Six lions. One moment. And the most unforgettable image I’ve ever taken from a hide.”<br />ENDS
