Description Rumbling Matriach

We were privileged to be amongst this small herd of elephants at Nkorho Lodge in the Sabi Sands.
There were a few youngsters but the herd was very relaxed and drinking water from a small muddy hole.
You could hear the amazing sub-sonic rumbling communication that took place between them as the pecking order and some bullying determined who got their share of the water first.
I love elephants.

Nkorho Lodge, Sabi Sands
Mpumulanga
South Africa

Wow. The depth and wrinkles of the face add so much character to this picture. I love that you used B&W for it.
