Summer Haze over Lake Kariba

A classic landscape of Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, during the height of the hot, dry summer season. The photograph captures the characteristic thick haze that settles over the Zambezi Valley, a result of atmospheric heat, humidity, and smoke from seasonal veld fires. The distant shorelines and islands are reduced to soft, ghostly silhouettes, creating a minimalist and atmospheric study of one of Africa’s largest man-made lakes.
