Lion Below
A helicopter flying overhead captures the attention of a lioness as she walks through the tall grasses of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Shooting from aboard the aircraft, Chris Schmid considered the experience a lucky one. “She was ... looking at me, and there’s nothing in Africa so intense as a lion looking right at you.”
