Plainly Elephants

Elephants have returned in good numbers to Kidepo Valley National Park (Uganda) over the past few years since the cessation of war in Sudan, just a few kilometers north.
This also captures the beautiful landscape (I hope)

Neat photo! Looks like the elephants have some place in mind to get to! Fine details in the animals and the landscape. I like the colors as you have recorded them. Thanks for sharing.

This provides a nice sense of landscape scale, given any viewer understands elephants as "large" and they are somewhat diminutive in this scene. I like the story effect suggested by having of all of them on the move.
