The handwritten caption accompanying this photograph reveals that these are African elephants enjoying their exercise within the park's grounds. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear the trumpeting sounds and feel the ground tremble beneath their mighty footsteps. Robert J Wigglesworth's keen eye for detail and composition is evident in this beautifully captured moment.
