Scene at a water hole

Wild South Africa

Kruger National Park

 

Just before sunset . It was a dry gusty afternoon with lots of dust around. The elephant initially didn't allow the buffalo to drink but eventually gave in. The same elephant was kept from drinking for a long time by an old elephant bull who occupied the water hole for himself for quite some time. It must be the dust and setting sun which give this image its special tones and atmosphere.
