Macro Monday


These enviable eyelashes belong to a massive elephant who was sedated to be collared. The light is shining through a tiny hole in his ear. 
Once elephants are collared it is easy to monitor their movements ...and makes it more difficult for poacher to kill them.




A bit wobbly but two minutes later he was off to join his friends.

    Großartig, ich habe gleich erkannt, dass es sich um Elefantenauge handeln muss und siehe da, es stimmte !

    Ich liebe diese zarten Riesen! Vor vielen Jahren hatte ich auch mal die Gelegenheit in Thailand und war so überwältigt von der Begegnung.
    Liebste Grüße von Steffi

    How amazing to get so close to these beautiful animals. I hope that your efforts will reduce poaching. It makes me very sad to think of slaughtered elephants.
