In this print captured by ODD ANDERSEN, a young baboon takes center stage as it sits comfortably on a welcoming billboard at the entrance of Victoria Falls. The picturesque resort town is about to embark on an important summit addressing the ongoing crisis in the great lakes region of Zimbabwe. As heads of state and foreign ministers from central and southern Africa gather for the upcoming summit, this curious baboon seems to symbolize both intrigue and innocence amidst the serious discussions that lie ahead. With its horizontal stance, it exudes a sense of calmness and contemplation, perhaps reminding us that even in times of turmoil, there can be moments of tranquility. The presence of this animal perched upon a billboard also serves as a reminder that nature has its own way of reclaiming spaces meant for human endeavors. It adds an unexpected touch to the otherwise mundane structure, injecting life into what would have been just another advertisement. While we cannot mention any commercial use or specific company associated with this image due to restrictions set by AFP, we can appreciate how ODD ANDERSEN's lens captures not only wildlife but also political events unfolding in Zimbabwe. This photograph encapsulates both beauty and significance - showcasing not only the natural wonders surrounding Victoria Falls but also highlighting critical discussions taking place within its borders.
