@Seraphine: You cannot imagine what this is like, to see these herds roaming freely under the big, unlimited Kenya sky. You also can't imagine how fast they can move...

Not recently :)

That one in the rear looks like he has taken an interest in you.

Great shot.

@MontereyJohn: Let's just say that big bull elephant was "focused" and scared the bejeebers out of all of us in the safari van.

@Rags: Taken at the Masai Mara in Kenya, which is part of the Serengeti Plain that stretches into Tanzania. Think Lion King.

@bronzebilly u.k.: Let me say that after I snapped this shot, that big bull turned toward us and did a quick fake charge. Everybody, including the driver of our safari van, nearly had heart failure. It was exciting and terrifying and amazing all in one.

@Line: Thank you. It looked at us a second later with an air of "I'm gonna trample you!" Wild, these elephants are both amazing and dangerous.
