* WOW, thats one hell of a robot elephant. Nice framing and composition. Exposure is spot on.[reply]Amit @ 2006-05-09 14:53:51
* There is a shot of this elephant on DPChallenge, I was wondering what the heck it was. Amazing stuff![reply]Ray @ 2006-05-09 15:15:11
* Very good photos.
Thats some heavy machinery. Would have loved to see the elephant live.[reply]Erik @ 2006-05-09 16:22:48
* I prefer a huge elephant to the huge head of George Bush anytime ;-). The mechanics of the trunk are fascinating![reply]Ella @ 2006-05-09 19:01:49
* awesome, I just saw this elephant in the swiss newspaper today, what a big thing ![reply]jo @ 2006-05-09 20:27:11
* Thanks Ella, Jo, Michael, Amit, Ray and Erik for your Comments.

I now know that this event has received worldwide news coverage as mentioned by Jo and, as Ray says, a few pics are appearing on other photoblogs so it was lucky I decided at a moment’s notice to go take a look myself.

Thanks again to All for the Comments.[reply]AG @ 2006-05-09 20:58:55
