The Elephant Chews with His Mouth Open by jyokota

The Elephant Chews with His Mouth Open

In the most remote part of Kaokoland, where elephants roam because it's their home. I felt so lucky to be seeing this elephant eating during the late afternoon golden hour.
What a stunning photo! What a privilege to see it.

Incredible - makes me think how it must have looked in the days of wooly mammoth…

Wonderful!

Wow. It amazes me that your focus and detail allows me to zoom way in and see tiny details on the plants in the mouth. Just a phenomenal piece of art.

Good heavens Junko - that's an amazing photo. If this wasn't your image I would wonder if it was AI generated -it's such an awesome stance. What a fabulous experience for you and what a fab image for us! :)

Thank you all for generous comments and favs that put this into top twenty. As you know, I'm in and out of 365 now in year 12 but it's "home" and I'm thankful that when things are bad, i can find my way back to this welcoming community. i broke my hand and am in a cast so i used my better hours on pain meds to look at my Namibia photos since im not able to get out yet. so for a few more weeks i'll be posting Namibia and japan and Cuba from these last months! thanks again.

Oh Junko - best wishes for a speedy recovery. And, on a purely selfish note - it does mean we'll get to see more of your fabulous travels!! Regards Rob
