Dust Dance

Elephant Dust Bath, Aquila

Trompe levée vers le ciel, une éléphante jette un voile de poussière sur ses épaules, rituel ancien sous le soleil du Karoo.

With a sweep of its trunk, an elephant throws a plume of sand over its head to protect its skin from the Karoo sun. This moment of natural behaviour was captured in warm afternoon light at Aquila, near Cape Town.
