Prequel to the previous post, the advantage of slow moving trains from the Quarry allowed a change of location tor the second take at the foot crossing.
Elephants working deep in the forests of Central Burma (Myanmar) expect their bath at the end of the day, so here the oozie (Burmese term for the Indian mahout), is required to do the honours in the only water available, a rather inadequate stream. 21st December 1996.
The rut is all about producing offspring like this young calf. This rather endearing youngster is taking a bath in a muddy bay of a stream.
"Hey, Sev!" Zephyr called as he stood at the edge of the tub, camera in paw. "Smile! You too, Khaleesi!"
A smile wasn't exactly what Zephyr got. More like confusion as to why his bath was being interrupted from his mate, and a shocked look on his daughter's face. Chuckling, Zephyr shrugged and went to go wake Khalypso for her bath, dressed in the swimming trunks that he always wore to bathe his daughters.

Rest assured, small as she may be, waking Khalypso is like waking a dragon with a severe hangover. I feel sorry for Zephyr already.
