Just a classic scene from a mesmerizing place! I am literally already counting the time down to October 2015 when I will host another trip to Mana.

This image was taken on foot.

Beautiful Shot Morkel, I think it works really well with the elephants pose and just how it is placed within the shot. Could very well be one of my faves of yours.

I can't even imagine being on foot among the eles like this. Gives you a perspective you just can't get from a vehicle. Truly special place this!

Another great shot Morkel.
I would love to see this giant forest, as the the elephants look so insignificant in these woods. The juxtaposition of the bull by a leaning tree makes for a great composition.
regards,
bruce

The elephant is placed perfectly in the frame. Another nice wide angle scene. Steve
