    This is an amazing photograph, in fact it is the best photograph ever! I didn’t know it was possible for an elephant to surf. Amazing, now where did I put my glass of bourbon?

    I’m glad you like it, Joe! The other photo I took is interesting too, watching the elephant duck dive under whitewater on the way out.
    Actually I took this in an airport, employing my hack photoshop skills to remove the advertising copy (it’s an ad for a resort for plus-sized water enthusiasts. I think.)
