5 Epic Shots on Instagram That Show the Beauty of Hell’s Gate National Park

I’m a big fan of epic shots that are uploaded on Instagram. The popular social networking app is one that is really good with visually stimulating content and it is by this fact I prefer a timeline with striking photos. Now thanks to the recent update the company did on the app, you can be able to easily find photos that are suited to your taste.

For the past one week, I’ve noticed  a number of photos taken at Hells Gate National Park, a place with varying landscapes and geographical features which can be a photographer’s dream if he/she is to landscape shots. Well, here are some of the breathtaking shots taken at Hells Gate:

1. This photo is stunning from a number of ways: The cloud cover on the base of the gorge seems to form a “cloud river” that extends to the horizon. Secondly the inclusion of Mt Longonot and the sunrise/sunset contributes to the wow factor of the photo.

2.  This photo is an interesting juxtaposition of the imposing cliff against the zebras & the guy walking beside them.

Can you spot @cedimungai walking among Zebras? Once in a while, a man just needs to walk among beasts. #igKenya | #SilvameetsKenya

3. This is a classic long exposure shot of The Milky Way as seen from Hells Gate. Absolute stunner.

Lost in Hyena territory Milky way over Hell’s gate National Park. It’s around 11pm, we decide to leave camp and go scout for a location. Voila, we get a sweet spot. Click click next thing we know we’re surrounded by a pack of hyenas. Before I could even open the side door I see @petersize10 locking himself up in the boot. @jaydabliu is in the car but his camera is outside. There’s some long silence in the car. Few minutes later, Everyone is back to normal and it’s back to the camp site. No Human was harmed in the making of this photo. #TembeaKenya #SilvaMeetskenya

4. Its not a Hell’s Gate picture without a photo at the base of the eroded rock which forms visually stunning contrast between the lighter and darker areas.

5. I like this shot because of the addition of the massive rock feature against the monolithic cliff face.

28. Never in my dreams have imagined I would ride a broken bicycle past pride rock, chasing after zebras and warthogs … #latergram
