Dusty Elephants enjoying a Waterhole, Etosha NP, Namibia 2014

November 1, 2015

Another waterhole and another group of Etosha’s dirty, dusty and thirsty elephants.  I was also waiting at this waterhole enjoying watching two male elephants luxuriously lounge about in particularly muddy section, when another male emerged from the arid landscape.  He sauntered up to the duo and they seemed to be sizing each other up, before they all plunged their trunks into the waterhole.  From my vantage point in the car, this looked almost synchronised and almost symmetrical, and offered the chance of an unusual photograph.  They stood facing each other for a while, not flinching and then the one which had arrived, just moved off.  I was very happy with this picture.
