Bush Fire - Elephant by Julia Rogers available from Snow Goose Gallery.

 

"On our last trip to Africa, we traveled the long sandy road through the Mababe Depression. It is almost impossible to imagine that this desolate, harsh landscape was once submerged beneath an enormous inland sea. There was a bush fire the entire trip from Moremi to Savuti. This natural and sometimes manmade event is very dramatic to see. But it is essential to certain vegetation, and many animals require it as a food source, as it stimulates new growth. We made a pit stop, and this bull elephant circled around our vehicle. He was letting us know that this was his turf." - J. Rogers.
