The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture,and this is shown in traditional dress.You often find three colours—red,gold and green—in the clothing.The first colour stands for(象征)the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves(奴隶);the second is for the rich resources(资源)of the African earth;and the third represents the grasslands of home.

    Because clothing has a strong social meaning,people are very careful in choosing what to wear.It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing,or to wear clothes in the wrong way,For example,in Ghana.a woman should wear her waistband(腰带)differently according to the importance of the social event.

On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”

       Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隐匿处) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (荫处) out of the wind and rain.

       Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.
