“The Calm After the Storm” - This image was made almost exactly one year ago. Right on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, where Big Tuskers dominate the vast, fabulous plains of Eastern Africa.

EXIF data on this image shows the raw file was captured at 7:16 AM. With some of the earliest light of the day, it creates a fairytale-like image with this mammoth at center stage. It reminds me of this movie quote, courtesy of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight: “The night is darkest just before the dawn. And the dawn is coming”.

This is an adequate metaphor for today's zeitgeist. We’re more resourceful than ever before and hopefully more grateful for the small things in life. Let’s get excited for the near future, because these times define who we want to be.

So wherever in the world you are: good evening, good morning or good night and hang in there a little bit longer. We’re almost through the looking glass 💪🏻
