Welcome to the wonderful world of elephants in their natural habitat

Most of the photographs here were taken in Sri Lanka, in Udewala National Park, and in the elephant orphanage in Pinewalla.  We also have some photographs of the elephants we rode when we travelled in the jungle to find the tigers.  I have included this as a special section because they are such fascinating creatures, and also Mick is very fond of the elephants, in the same way I have a love of tigers.
