And it has nothing to do with the camera it's the talent behind it and the way you tell a story. Very special indeed and so very interesting to me sitting on the other side of the world too. I would be terrified to come face to face with an Elk I have to say - kind of incredible really that they come into town like that. We do not have them here. Although we have kangaroos which can be dangerous as well. Now what are you going to do with all these wonderful images - seriously. You could be a travel photo journalist.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-13356359679452199492012-10-20T13:10:13.426-05:002012-10-20T13:10:13.426-05:00Wow!

Elk are just slightly smaller so I can imagine why everyone must run for cover! It is both exciting and scary at the same time!
