[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
During an afternoon drive we found this family in the road. Looks like dad is leading the way in the distance (maybe he had enough of the woman and kids for the day) with moms and kids following.

The herd was much larger (we counted about 50 animals) and we followed this group for about 1/2 mile before they left the road and moved into the bushes. At one point there were also a number elephants behind us - very scary as there is nowhere to go should they decide that they do not like the car.

Hope you enjoy this family outing.

Magazine capture, Andrei. Do like the way the leader disappears in the far the road goes down again.

Great crop, TFS,

tres joli moment capturé .

Great capture Andrei! Ok, so it would have been more dramatic if they were heading towards you, but that would be a foolhardy venture - I think you've done well as it is.
Great crop and perfect POV placing the father in the distance.
... I thought elephant society was matriarchal?
