Description


Ha, just because I haven't been around for a day does not mean I have run away, LOL. Today a huge young bull elephant spending time at the water hole during the hot summer days. They are considered unpredictably dangerous when in musth like this fella.

My reminder may get on your nerves, but for the South Africans at least, follow the link here below for the annual fun Renderosity photography weekend.

Thank you for kind comments, etc, now follow this link please:

A daring capture indeed! A moody elephant this size, having an "outpour" lol ..... hmmmmm...... but definitely worth it! What a marvellous capture. His environment looks just beautiful, and the entire scene is lovely, and very peaceful looking. Excellent lighting, reflections and textures of his skin! Beautiful artwork Piet!

A super capture with wonderful colours. He looks as though he is relieved to have his '....' dipped into the cool water for relief.

Wow that is an awesome moody shot! Beautiful lighting and I love the position of the elephant. He looks like he is a checking you out from the side view. Well done!

Awesome photo. It's amazing to me that you are there in the wild with the elephant... I can't imagine being some place like that... the most wild creatures I have around here come with 2 legs!

Your captures are always so unique, such wonderful shots. I envy all of you going on the 'safari' thing, Sigh. I wish I were rich or won the lottery. But I will watch from the sidelines and enjoy just the same.
