21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Magical Amboseli

We drove parallel to two elephants as they periodically tossed up dust, this created a dramatic silhouette as the dust was lit up by the setting sun. In the background you can see a heard of wildebeest as well as a lone giraffe standing out between the trees. Photo taken in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
