Mighty Sombun is a female elephant who is more than 40 years old, but still very strong and very lively. She lives in Jungle Hut near Thailand's National Park. This is my first encounter with an elephant at close range. She's a cheerful creature, and even dances when requested.

wow, she's old! sorry for the ignorance, pero ano ba lifespan ng elephants? hehe!
Around 70 years, I think.... :)
Wow! Impressive animal!
Are you sure she wasn't angry at you ;-)
Nice shot of a 'working' elephant and keeper, I like the high key background against the bright light.
would definitely have not been any where near the elephant
I would defintely not stand so close to such a huge animal. Me a coward you see :)
Sidney, after feeding her with several bananas and a handful of peanuts, I don't think she's angry with me. :)
Thanks, John. Your comments inspire me to experiment more with this new hobby. :)
I understand, Suby. I was also hesitant initially....but she was really friendly....any fear you have will surely disappear. :)
Uhm, I think i'd be too scared to be near an elephant... :D
Pareho kayo ni soulmate, Delish
Wow! This is a huge elephant. The last time I sat on one was when I visited Nepal a few years ago. Apparently we had to ride on one to get into the safari park where there were rhinos, who would not dare to attack elephants! Wonderful creatures.
Later i will show my son this picture i'm sure he will love it. He likes animals, i remember the first time we saw an elephant as big as this was during circus show in Milan ,Italy.Congrats K. Emer what a nice shot!!!
