Elephant Safari, by Kamalesh Das

This is the Murti riverside elephant safari in Dhupjhora range of Gorumara wildlife Sanctuary, West bengal, India. This shot was taken at early morning of first day of our tour. Dense fog slowly disappeared with the advent of the first light of the day. I took this shot from our elephant. In the picture there is a little boy with his father who showed him various wild animals of the dawn from the elephant. The boy was probably amazed to see the vast glory of nature.
