 Taken in Hwange, Zimbabwe - there are 40 000 elefants in the park, you only see them when they come to drink water at dusk - up to 250 at once at some dams. They come to drink and play till 9'o clock at night. Beautiful sight.

I have informed SC that my entry for Lucky7 III is not valid. I looked at the adjusted photo's date instead of the original date when the photo was taken. The photo was taken on 19 August 2010. Thank you for the nice comments and the high scores. I am realy sorry for myself right now, as this photo was on it's way to be my highest scoring one, by some margin (not that my current high score is in the stratosphere...hehe).
