Sepia tone makes it look ancient... and I somehow seemed to like it.
is the elephant resting its trunk on its tusk in the last photo? or reaching out to the side?
It's actually a broken left tusk.
oh how beautiful!
in the first picture, the elephant looks graceful. :~)

Oh My God!!!
Thank you SO much for these pictures. I am still quite excited about the dream. And you know what, this was how my dream was. This wild green place... And then this baby elephant (like the chotu who is adorable in the last snap) comes running to me from a pond and he was cream in colour!
This one goes into my memories.

Always on autofocus! The Nikon AFS lenses are very very fast.
wow.. I loved the first one.. The tusks look beautiful..
Elephants look so humble inspite of their big mass. The calf especially look nice.
They look mature and 'i mean business kind' with their tusks but the ones without tusks somehow seem to smile. Beautiful pictures.

I love the shot beside the lake. Elephants are such beautiful creatures. They look so wise...so spiritually old. Great pics.

Last when I was there I had seen a scene almost identical to photo no 3 from top. Only that stream was in between us and the elephants.
And yes like in photo no 4 there was this tiny baby elephant which on seeing us rushed underneath his/her mother.

Hey why does the first one look a bit thin? I mean he looks weaker than the rest of the gang below.
That's a very tall bull... I think he's on diet probably! ;)

> can't discriminate when it comes to elephants.
Of course. Every elephant is so different and unique. But, I do have my favourite elephant:
