Sri Lanka’s elephants

Had you asked me what I thought of Elephants before I went to Sri Lanka, I probably would have given you a blank look.

I had no opinion on elephants at all.  Things have changed now.

Apparently there are about 3000 elephants in Sri Lanka, I felt like I saw more than that.

We saw them in the wild, walking through the city, about a million times at Perahera and even more at the Elephant Orphanage (which is not as sad as it sounds).

Everytime I saw a bunch of elephants, I thought I’d seen enough.

But then the next time I’d be happy to see them again.

I wouldn’t say I’m an elephant man now, although I am not sure what that would entail anyway, but I liked them, except the one who tried to take my camera.

So here are my elephant pics.

My favourite elephant sign.

The pensive big fella.

The Lovers.

The posers.

Elephant asses.

Mama and baby.

The bastard who tried to take my camera.

I definitely prefer elephants to squirrels.
