[Leica] The Power and the Glory

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

 Two scenes of awesome power from the Masai Mara.

I went down to the Mara River only once, because the migrating herds had
moved on early this year, and luckily caught a full fledged Hippo
territorial fight.

*A warning for the second scene. Those whose sense of morality tends to be
ruffled by raw nature may please move on.*

The second was a first for me - Elephants, mating at close range - the
noise was deafening, as the whole herd was trumpeting, and the huge bull
looked likely to trample all over our vehicle, let alone the placid female.
The dimorphism between the sexes in terms of size was unbelievable! Awesome
and Majestic!
