The face that....

On our way back from Hunkal woods, we saw an elephant and her mahoot on the side of the road. The short stop that we made so that the girls could take pictures with the elephant resulted in the pictures posted below. The mahoot has such a ferocious expression on his face, and it is the elephant that looks gentle and approachable (ironic?). Anyway, as a result of this brief encounter, I have decided to do a more in-depth study of this relationship. I know it will not be easy to get these men to talk to me, but I cannot give up until I have at least tried. So Im off to Koorg this weekend. Wish me luck!
