Morning after morning, elephant families cross Amboseli’s dry lake bed on their way to the swamps that sustain them throughout the day. As the first herds began to appear, the sky slowly transformed. Clouds gathered above the plains, growing larger and more sculpted with every passing minute until they became as much a part of the scene as the elephants themselves.
Photographed from ground level, the low perspective emphasises the scale of both the landscape and the sky. Below, the herd continues its ancient journey across the lake bed. Above, the constantly changing clouds remind us that no two mornings in Amboseli are ever the same. For a brief moment, land, wildlife and atmosphere came together in perfect balance.
