Elephant Trails

Back to Thailand today, though six years after my first travel there.  This was hiking through the beautiful Khao Yai National Park, when the jungle that had surrounded us for the first several hours suddenly opened up into this tall, nearly waist-high grass.  And stretching out in front was a low trail frequently used by elephants as they made their way to some of the small watering holes.  The bright blue skies and golden sunshine shone on the grasses.  Unfortunately, no elephants were in sight, probably hanging out in the coolness (relative coolness anyway) of the jungle and waiting for dusk.  But one deer-like animal did jump out of the grass as we hiked through, startling all of us.  Enjoy.
