Where you goin', Sun ?

The Sun, a Tree, a Vulture, in Botswana.

If you stick around long enough in about the same place, you may see the same scene, changing before your eyes.
It looks, - at least it looked to me,- as if the vulture atop this bare naked tree was following the travelling sun, wondering what this strange reddish ball might be, and where it might be next.


The setting sun is still a bit off, to the left, 
and the Vulture's profile
shows his curiosity clearly.


The Sun has come closer, hangs on a sturdy branch ,
and the angle of the bird's head has changed accordingly.


Now this fiery ball is just below the Vulture
who clearly is peering down at it,
probably wondering, when this spectacle might end.

So, you may say, it is the photographer 
who has changed his position, giving the appearance 
of a travelling sun.
Okay ? Then please explain the different posture
of the bird's head !


Bertstravels 
still tries to puzzle this one out.
