Hartbeespoort Dam Elephant Sanctuary, South Africa
In 2010 I had the pleasure of traveling to South Africa. During that trip I visited the Hartbeespoort Dam Elephant Sanctuary which serves as a halfway house for adolescent African elephants. Here orphaned elephants are raised until they can be more independent later in life.
I felt this photo captured the size and temperament of the elephants I met at the sanctuary.
The sanctuary is located about an hour north of Johannesburg. They are open to tourists and visiting can be a powerful experience.

What a creator of these beautiful animals. So large but not dangerous unless threatened.
