On the riverbed

Gallery: 10 Years of NPNPosted April 15, 2010267 views6 comments

Indian Elephants on the riverbed of Ramganga river. After spending hot summer day in the Sal forest, these Elephants came to the river for a long bath & swim, followed by dust bath. I have never seen this kind of activity in this atmosphere again. It gave me a high at that poiny of time.
Incidentally, I'm completing two years at NPN this month, so I'm just two years old.

A BIG THANK YOU to NPN !
Canon film camera and 500mm.

Very nice - I love the dusty atmosphere and the sense of vast openess.

Jagdeep,

What a wonderful capture of this amazing nature story. The light thru the dust really gives this scene some drama. This is awesome as presented, but I think you also have an optional panorama crop to think about too.

What a sight!

This is truly a marvelous photograph. I love your composition with the barely discernible hills looming over the elephants
