Kafue flats

On first thoughts you could be forgiven for thinking that the photo above is of a lake, well I can tell you that there is not one drop of water in the image. These are the Kafue flats (grasslands) in Zambia, a vast area that is home to thousands of Kafue Lechwe (see below) and a great deal of bird life.

The reason why the grasslands appear shiny is that they are covered with millions of cobwebs, here is a close up:
