Elephants at Dusk

By Sean Crane | Published January 15, 2013


These elephants were grazing at twilight on the flat lands of the Laikipia Plateau in Kenya. Laikipia was once a cattle ranching area but was later reclaimed for wildlife conservation. As I’ve mentioned before, we were there during the short rains in November for a reason — the incredible skies like the one on this particular evening.

    I really like this photo, Sean. The difference between the warm and cool colors really makes it stand out.
