Elephants At The Waterhole
Sitting in the sunken hide at the side of the waterhole, I had an incredibly close up view from ground level of the elephants as they came to drink. Elephants produce a wide range of vocalisations, some of their “rumbles” they use to communicate with each other are of a very low frequency that are below the limit of human hearing. As well as hearing the audible sounds the elephants were making, whilst I could not hear these low frequency rumbles I could feel them in my chest as I sat photographing them.
