TITLE: Splashing

The hide at Olifantsrus waterhole in Etosha national Park, Namibia gives you a unique from-above -view of the animals that come to drink water. This elephant was playing and splashing in the cool water when I capture this shot. The elephant was so near so I took this image without cropping it much.
