Two of a Kind

Indian elephants enjoy a jolly good time in the Bannerghatta Biological Park, Bengalura, India. This close-up of an elephant’s eye in particular reveals the mystical charm of these animals. The eternal stare of the elephant touches the observer: How sensitive and vulnerable must these creatures be? One can only imagine what the second elephant must sense when looking at his friend. Only part of this elephant is visible. It is difficult to imagine the eyes. Without eyes elephants fade away to an almost surreal geometric form.
