[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This old gentleman (Loxodonta Africana) was browsing by the side of the road. We looked at one another and he was quite satisfied at being photographed.
However, when he crossed the road, he made sure we would not come closer. He opened his ears and looked very threatening. I was too slow to photograph that. |

Just one word.....
WOW!
I have no doubt that there will be those who criticise this photograph but, for me, it evokes memories of my time living in Kenya - a time when you could still these wonderful, gentle creatures not surrounded by "Kombis"!
Thanks for a lovely photo Dirk.
