“Haunting yet mesmerising.”
A brown hyena standing beside the ruins of an abandoned diamond mining settlement has earned wildlife photographer Wim van den Heever the title of Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
It took him 10 years to get the shot of the hyena in the ghost town of Kolmanskop, Namibia.
Wildlife Photographer of the Year opens this month at the Natural History Museum in London.
