Elephants in Dust

by Michael Rosenbaum

Each day hundreds of elephants come down to drink at the Chobe River in Botswana. They come in groups, sometimes one family after another.

This must have been an incredible sight to see! You captured a tremendous force….. Quite an army of power! How arid and dry it looks. Amazing creatures to endure such an extreme atmosphere.
Thank you for reminding me of the immense journey there is for some creatures just to get a drink of water. Breathing all that dust,fighting the elements…. Great photography! Great story!

Love the angle of those elephants on the march for some water. The colour and dust kicked up makes a wonderful shot.

love all the dust which sort of frames the herd in the shot. Nicely done!

Great shot! I love the texture of the elephants skin, the color is superb and makes you think of a hot and dry day.

Great family portrait! Great tone and perspective. I hate to think that such beautiful animals are killed for their tusks.

Great shot of these elephants. I like the brown/sepia cast which adds to the dry and dusty scene. Wildlife at its best!
