David Yarrow

CONCEPT OF ARTWORK

It is very hot in May and the roads are not made for comfort. The drinking water becomes warm by noon, even in a cooler. However, when encounters with tigers happen, they can be spellbinding. This mother of three is well known to the guides and because tigers feel the heat just as much as we do, watering holes offered the best chance of meeting her in her territory. On this occasion, I was able to get very low and she confronted me head on. The shadowed ripples of water fuse with her stripes in a manner I could never have preconceived. The 98.5% of gruelling torture was made totally worthwhile by this special encounter.
