Elephant Ridge

The Story Behind the Print:

For a week in the heart of Etosha, I followed whispers of dust and the memory of tracks. I was searching for one specific herd, a dynasty of over thirty elephants. As the final day of my safari dawned, the landscape remained still, and hope began to feel like a distant memory.

Then, a movement on the horizon. From a small plateau, I watched as they began their slow, majestic walk toward me. I positioned my vehicle, the dust hanging in the air like a blessing, turning the harsh sun into a soft, ethereal glow. And then it happened—a moment of perfect, fleeting geometry.

One by one, they traversed the spine of the ridge, their silhouettes aligning against the sky in a procession that felt both ancient and transient. I pressed the shutter. A heartbeat later, the perfect line dissolved back into the herd, but the moment was sealed forever.

"Elephant Ridge" is that single, silent heartbeat.

It is a testament to patience and the profound reward of being present when the wild offers a glimpse of its perfect order.
