I usually go out to take pictures of roe deers but this time a Elk came out from the forrest :)

The elk stayed in the fields for about 30 minutes. It was a pleasant meeting.

Hope u like it :)

I live in Sweden and we have a lot of them. The hunting season of the elk has just begun in the southern sweden so you have to be careful while driving because they are were stressed. Many trafic accidents occur this time of year.

Thanx for all the comments :)
