The story behind the image
(Continued from part 2.)
About 5 minutes later, the herd was gone and dusting somewhere in the bushveld. Only one single elephant was still there, obviously enjoying the silent bath! He kept on drinking and pouring water on his skin. Awesome.
So, roughly 25 minutes after the elephants entered the stage, this elephant was taking a last drink and then followed his herd into the night of the National Park. – And we left as well, hurrying for dinner (the restaurant accepts only orders until 8 pm). Needless to say, this was way beyond our expectations, and we were really happy after having witnessed this incredible scene.
