21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Water Parade

We were camping when i suddenly noticed a large herd of elephant approaching on their way to the nearby waterhole. I picked-up my camera and ran approximately 30m to the fence and started photographing. They formed a single row on the other side of the fence and followed the animal footpath passing within two meters of me...It felt like a never ending row of elephant...
