Elephants

Elephants, originally uploaded by Eamonn_Sullivan.

The first day on the beach: I get out of the car, glance at the sea, and freeze. My brain can't quite grasp what I'm seeing. The circus is in town, so the trainer brought these two down to the strand. They weren't tethered in any way. The elephants went way out -- up to their necks -- and splashed around for a while. When they were finished, they just calmly walked in, looked around for the trainer and followed him back. I got some good shots on the real camera, but until I find a way to upload them, you'll have to make do with these crummy camera phone pics.
