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.

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.
