Through the Lens

One of my favourites moments was on a Safari in Africa when we were sitting in our jeep with our guide and this majestic elephant decided to charge us.  Our Ranger quickly started up the car and commenced to reverse very quickly up the track.  The elephant gave up after a short while and trumpted a great sound warning us away.  He was having a grumpy day and didn't want his photo taken, it was altogether exhilarating and frightning at the same time.  We had a big laugh about it afterwards.
I snapped this photograph and it has always been one of my favourites so I had the joy of painting it this weekend.  I love how it has turned out, a very special memory indeed.
