Bryan, I had to show my wife this one......what a great view from this angle. This is a wonderful take. 

I was in the Tetons years ago and my wife alerted me to a herd of buffalo bearing down on me while I was photographing and looking in another direction. When I turned and looked the view I saw was very similar to this neat shot here, only the buffalo had steam pouring from their nostrils in the cold morning air. It was spooky......frown

Amboseli is one of the areas where elephants are doing fairly well in Kenya.  The real test of a well protected elephant population is the number of fully mature bull elephants.  While there are a handful of rather famous mature bull elephants in Amboseli, there are not as many as there should be ... Still, it is always a pleasure to see such sights!

In common with virtually all other animals, Elephants are far more plentiful in both Zimbabwe and Botswana
