Elephant Herd Crossing Winter River at Sunset

by Milo Guerra

Golden sunlight strikes the gray, wrinkled skin of a massive elephant, highlighting the coarse texture of its hide against the cool, steel-blue water of a narrow river. The animal steps carefully through the shallows, its trunk raised high to sample the air. Beside it, the dense, dry stalks of winter reeds stand brown and brittle, swaying slightly in the heat haze that shimmers above the water's surface. The low angle of the sun casts long, sharp shadows across the wet mud and the elephant's powerful legs. One ripple spreads outward from a submerged foot, distorting the reflection of the golden sky on the dark water.
