During my trip to botswana, we were lucky enough to watch for quite some time elephants playing in the mud. Those creatures are so beautiful!

Fantastic series Didier!

They're all great, but #3 is fantastic. It says "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" to me. :)

Thanks Chris. Getting up seemed a bit difficult at times. But at other times, they almost looked "graceful"

I love watching Elephant and missed it this year. Like you say, the noise really adds to the whole experience. You captured their exuberance well.
