World Elephant Day in 10 Frames

,

Elephants have a way of stopping you in your tracks — whether you’re deep in the bush, miles from anywhere, or walking down a busy city street.

To mark World Elephant Day, I’m sharing ten of my favorite elephant images. Nine were captured in and around Kruger National Park in South Africa — from dusty reserve roads to quiet moments at watering holes. The first comes from my archives, taken years ago on 14th Street in New York City, where a larger-than-life elephant art installation brought a bit of the savannah to the sidewalks.

Each frame is a reminder of just how extraordinary these animals are — their presence, their intelligence, and their role in the landscapes they roam (and in the imaginations they inspire).

Click any image to see it in full — and take a moment to appreciate these remarkable giants, wherever they appear.

    Elephants are amazing; when you see pictures you realise how strange they are and yet intelligent and sociable in a way we can understand.

      Agreed! Their blend of intelligence and social bonds makes watching them so special.

    I love elephants, they’re such intelligent and interesting animals – and so similar to humans in lots of ways 💛🐘
