Macro Monday

The eye of an elephant.

Being washed to go to the temple!

I love elephants , these amazing giants. My friend drew my attention to the fact that every 
15 minutes!
one elephant is killed ! Just and only for the ivory tusks. If this continues elephants in Africa will be extinct by 2025. ( The Peace Patch)

  1. I could've spent all day photographing the spots on that elephant! It is such a shame what is happening there. This is what I love about photography and traveling...we can help bring awareness. Thank you!
