The hoopoe is a kind of tourist that prefers to avoid the cold European winter by moving to warmer climes. This one has chosen Kilimanjaro National Park as its winter home. This fantastic little watercolor has an exciting horizontal color division: the bird and the savannah landscape form a brown-orange stripe in the foreground, while the mountain and sky form a blue-violet stripe in the upper half of the picture.
