Daily Toil

Our African itinerary included a transfer from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe to Livingston Airport, Zambia to catch a flight back to South Africa.  I was stricken by the stark contrast of this border-crossing scene compared to my life in the US and made a few quick snaps as we made our way through the chaos.  A great reminder about gratitude.

All photos made on 9/13/24 with an Apple iPhone 15 Pro.
