Nearly got ran over by an elephant to snag this shot, I'm pretty sure she wasn't gonna let a man with a camera halt her progress. What a fantastic experience to be so close to these amazing creatures.
At a focal length of 37mm you can appreciate how close I was to get this shot.

from far away he looked like a ghostly vision in that vast empty landscape. white from the Etosha dry soil.
Ivory is not just the tusks, it's the whole, magnificent elephant. Stop the poaching!!!!
I really liked the way the baby looks like the mother elephant's shadow... I have sooo many elephant photos- we were so lucky to have some very up close experiences with individual and groups of elephants. I will slip them in to my stream gradually...
Chester Zoo’s new baby elephant calf, which has caused a stir of excitement among keepers and visitors alike, has been named Nayan meaning eye in Hindi.
The male calf, which was born close to midnight on Sunday 18th July, has been exploring his new home while staying close to his mother, Sithami. The name was chosen by both the Zoo’s elephant keepers and the staff from the Assam Haathi Project, the conservation project which mitigates human elephant conflict in north east India. The project is run by Chester Zoo and EcoSystems-India.
Nandita Hazarika , Project Manager of Assam Haathi Project, who was visiting from India at the time of the birth, said: “We are delighted to be involved in the naming of the Zoo’s new elephant calf. We worked with the elephant keepers to find a Hindi name and think Nayan is a perfect choice. As a charity, Chester Zoo funds various conservation projects abroad so by visiting the new baby elephant, visitors are helping support these projects and in doing so playing a part in conserving various animal species around the world.”
Nayan is the second calf for Sithami, 13, who is also mum to Sundara, six. Proud dad is Upali, 16.
RIP Nayan died 29th July 2013
