EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Denis Balibouse, we witness a mesmerizing scene of unity and instinct as the majestic Elephants of the Swiss national circus Knie gracefully enter Lake Leman during an organized bathing session. The image showcases the exterior beauty of these wild animals in their natural habitat, set against an open space with a breathtaking landscape. The composition highlights the tranquility and serenity that surrounds these magnificent creatures, elevated from our view. As they walk towards the water, their silhouettes create a striking contrast against the backdrop of clouds and distant horizon line. The creative use of depth of field adds to the atmospheric ambiance, emphasizing their presence amidst nature's beauty. This photograph not only captures a picturesque moment but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect wildlife and preserve their habitats. It subtly alludes to climate change and its impact on these gentle giants who find solace in refreshing baths during warm late summer days. Without any human presence in sight, this image allows us to appreciate the elephants' gracefulness while highlighting their vulnerability in an ever-changing environment. It is through such stunning visuals that we can truly grasp the profound beauty found within nature itself - reminding us why it is crucial to safeguard these incredible species for generations to come.
