In South Africa we call the Trunk of a car, the Boot. In this instance however, we would have to call it the Trunk too :-D I wonder if this is how the boot was called the trunk in the USA. Wonder why it was ever called a boot in the first place....hmmmm?
According to Wikipedia - "The trunk or boot of an automobile or car is the vehicle's main storage, luggage, or cargo compartment. Trunk is used in North American English and Jamaican English; boot is used elsewhere in the English-speaking world, except in South Asia, where it is called a dickie. Trunk is also primarily used in many non-English speaking regions, such as East Asia. In earlier usage, a boot was a built-in compartment on a horse-drawn coach, used originally as a seat for the coachman and later for storage In France, from 1900 onwards, Moynat trunk maker became the indisputable market leader in automobile luggage, for which the house developed a number of patented products including the limousine trunk. In 1928 came the side or lateral sliding trunk, a mechanism that foreshadowed the development of integrated trunks in vehicles from the 1930s onwards."

Rob [The Journalist] paddles past a modern version of an ancient water gate. Trunk gates like this open and close with tides and spring freshets to let water in and out of impoundments such as rice fields and duck ponds.
The plantations along Cuckolds Creek and the Lower Combahee River were mostly producers of rice and fields hand dug and gates hand built by slaves.
Now, the modern rice fields are mostly managed areas for wildlife.

We witnessed an Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) female with her little boy in the wild from bird perspective, from the Nong Pak Chi wildlife observation tower in Khao Yai. The couple decided to feast on the mineral-rich soil right under the tower. An amazing encounter that lasted for about 45 minutes. They seemed to have no notion of our presence.
Brought only a long telephoto lens, as such a close encounter was certainly not expected! This resulted in some interesting, unusual images of one of the largest an endangered land mammals in the wild.

When I was a kid. My friends and me had a habit to climb a high tree, we call the high tree "Aglik" in our native language. We would be happy & proud if we can reach the highest level of the trunk. We can see everywhere from above. Back in the day, we didn't have high building or house.
