In honor of our ancestor Lucy’s visit to Houston, I went back through my safari photos and put together this panorama photo of Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The gorge is in the Ngorogoro Conservation Area in the Eastern Serengeti and is a geologic feature that cuts through sediment layers from 2.5 million to 15,000 years old. Our modern understanding of human evolution began with finds by Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey in the gorge, where faulting and erosion have laid bare 100 meters or so of sediment. For more information, check out the Wiki page
For now, enjoy this small panorama (made with 5 vertical shots from the Rebel XT):

A bit of trivia about the name of the gorge - it is really called Oldupai Gorge, after the Oldupai plants that live there, however, the name was mistakenly recorded as Olduvai by German scientists.
