Everyone loves taking photos of young, strong and beautiful Lions... for good reason really, they are some of the most amazing creatures on earth. However, most people don't post photos of Old Lions. I'm hoping to start a new trend. The story of Old Lions is quite interesting and sad. They are pushed out by the younger stronger generation and live the rest of their lives apart from the pride. It’s incredibly sad and reminiscent of our society at large. These lions have an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience which could be used by the pride, but instead they are pushed out by the younger generation trying to gain control. We found this guy today and his face and expression matched his plight. What do you think… is there a lesson we can learn? WorldPix is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to helping the underprivileged in the United States, Africa and around the world. We sell pictures, put on safaris and photographic workshops and all proceeds go back to help causes near where we photograph. We like to think of the beauty of a country as a natural resource that we leverage to help the community. If you are interested in joining us on an upcoming Safari or Workshop just reach out to me and I’ll put you on our list. #worldpix #safari #charity
