Thanks for your time.

nice composition Marina, well done!

I love how you filled the entire frame with the animals. Looks good. Congrats!

I have found it hard to photograph elephants but you have done very well here. The colour is very nice and the shapes really make the composition of the photo. Well done AGAIN!!!

Fantastic point of view.Just a great shot.

Tienes una forma de ver la naturaleza que no deja indiferente. La encuantro perfecta!

Marina, I love the detailed textures in the skin and how the light brings them out. The different shapes and textures of these lovely animals remind me of a story I heard many years ago.

 

 

"The Buddha here tells the story of a king who had six blind men gathered together to examine an elephant.

 

"When the blind men had each felt a part of the elephant, the king went to each of them and said to each: 'Well, blind man, have you seen the elephant? Tell me, what sort of thing is an elephant."

 

The six blind men assert the elephant is either like a pot (the blind man who felt the elephants' head), wicket basket (ear), ploughshare (tusk), plough (trunk), granary (body), pillar (foot), mortar (back), pestle (tail) or brush (tip of the tail).

 

The men cannot agree with one another and come to blows over the question of what an elephant really is like, and this delights the king. The Buddha ends the story of the king and compares the six blind men to preachers and scholars who are blind and ignorant and hold to their own views: "Just so are these preachers and scholars holding various views blind and unseeing.... In their ignorance they are by nature quarrelsome, wrangling, and disputatious, each maintaining reality is thus and thus." The Buddha then speaks the following verse:

 

O how they cling and wrangle, some who claim

For preacher and monk the honored name!

For, quarreling, each to his view they cling.

Such folk see only one side of a thing."
