Elephantastic

I love photographing elephants so much that I had to dedicate an entire gallery page just to these magnificent animals. Monochrome images of elephants can however be found in the “Monochrome Visions” gallery.

“Of all African animals, the elephant is the most difficult for man to live with, yet its passing - if this must come - seems the most tragic of all. I can watch elephants (and elephants alone) for hours at a time, for sooner or later the elephant will do something very strange such as mow grass with its toenails or draw the tusks from the rotted carcass of another elephant and carry them off into the bush. There is mystery behind that masked gray visage, and ancient life force, delicate and mighty, awesome and enchanted, commanding the silence ordinarily reserved for mountain peaks, great fires, and the sea” - Peter Matthiessen
