The last rays of warm light in the Moru Kopjes creates a very atmospheric scene with a breeding herd of elephants as the main subject.

Hi Mario,

Certainly very stunning, we saw very few Elephants in that area earlier this year, nice to know they are out and about.

A dandy, Mario.  This invites eye study and holds up in all respects!   Fine work.
