Elephant Dream

This is what future generations would say. An elephant will be just a memory, no more a reality. A dream where they will walk on Earth at peace, as they were born to do; kept alive only in our minds. In April 2016 105 tons of Ivory was burnt in Nairobi. It pained me to see how many elephants were brutally killed. It became a part of my life's work to capture on camera the remaining few living. This picture captures two things (depending on how you look at it): 1. They are walking out from heaven to earth and 2. The elephants slowly fading to nothing but memory. Their fragility is in our hands. This image gives a dramatic feel to many juxtapositions- power & frailty, gentility & giant.

After days of dry and hot weather, it suddenly poured in Mara. The elephant herd went beserk with joy especially the youngsters who started playing in the mud. Probably because thiere was a dominant lion pride was nearby, the adult elephants stood on guard while the youngsters enjoyed the mud playing.
