EYES OF HOPE
It was a hot summer afternoon in Nagzira Tiger Reserve. We started our afternoon safari and were driving
around searching for any signs to track leopards, but unfortunately we weren't finding any. In the evening as
were returning back, we saw a few gypsieswaiting along a canal searching for something deep inside the
forest. On further inspection, we saw a leopard, lazing around under the shade of some tall trees. Light was
fading away fast and the leopard wasn't showing any signs of moving. One by one the gypsies went away
and now there were only three, including ours. The leopard then got up from its siesta, walked right up to
where we were and drank water for a goodwhile. That is when I got this image.
