National Animal of #SouthAfrica Springbok @RhinoandLionSA #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

Springbok is the National Animal of South Africa and also the name of the Rugby team of South Africa also known as The Boks or Die Bokke in Afrikaans. 

Springbok is the cutest animal and every time I see them I want to bring one home as a pet. The way they walk, their small tails, their cute face, lovely eyes and the body colors all attract me to this animal. 

The best part is their agility, speed and they can also jump high in the air from the still-standing pose. I have never been able to capture them in the air so far but I am trying my best to be at the moment when some Lion or Leopard is chasing them. 

Here the animal is in its natural setting, eating dry and wet grass and the backdrop is matching with the color of its skin and that was the reason I chose to present these photos to you. 

The way nature plays with the colors of the animals is amazing and beautifully crafted with light brown, dark brown and white colors. No wonder they are worthy of the title to be the National Animal of a country. 

Their horns are showcased in many hotels and restaurants here as decoration and even nightshades or lamps are made from them. You will find Springbok in all Nature Reserves throughout the country and here I have captured them at Lion & Rhino Nature Reserve, Johannesburg, South Africa using the Nikon D7000 Camera. 

Sawubona!!!

Movie Review - When the Game Stands Tall (2014)

Hi Guys, 

When the Game Stands Tall (2014) is a sports drama movie based on the actual events. The movie is about the record-setting 151-game between 1992–2003 high school football winning streak by De La Salle High School of Concord, California. The movie is based on the novel of the same name written by Neil Hayes and published by North Atlantic Books. De La Salle head coach Bob Ladouceur retired in January 2013 after winning his last Open Division state championship in December 2012 on which the movie is based. 

The sports movies are always based on getting a team together after the initial friction between various team members across various cultural differences and each one coming from a different social and financial background. This movie is also about dreams coming true for some of the athletes as they continue to strive against all odds to win 151 games in a row. 

The movie is directed by Thomas Carter also known for his Coach Carter (2005) movie. The movie has Jim Caviezel as Bob Ladouceur, Laura Dern as his wife, Michael Chiklis, Alexander Ludwig, Gavin Casalegno and Clancy Brown in main roles. It was great to see Alexander Ludwig in this movie after his Hunger Games movie series is a big hit. Jim Caviezel has played his role very well as a coach.

The movie has it's ups and downs and it's always great to watch Sports action drama. Sony Pictures has really got something for all of us this time with this movie. I liked the movie but was expecting to see some more of the action like Coach Carter and other famous sports movies. 

The movie is nice for a good weekend watch on TV. Do catch it up sometime when it's played on the channels.  

Movie has released in Ster Kinekor on 14th Nov 2014. More info on twitter and facebook.

Cheers!!!
