Sights & Sounds Of Africa

If you have ever been fortunate to travel to Africa on a photographic safari you will know that your photographs however good they are will only ever give you a one dimensional memory of the scene at the time of taking that shot. It will never fully portray the experience of the moment.

The reason for this is the image can only display what you saw and photographed at that moment in time. What's missing are what your other senses recorded, mainly sound and possibly smell.
