For those without the power to ascend Phnom Bakheng, elephants are at their service. Though I am sure it must be quite an experience, I don't think it's right for humans to "ride" elephants. Instead I took a few pictures of these beautiful creatures. Photo taken in December 2016.
Cool...but I do feel bad for the elephants.
ReplyDelete...but think of the view!
ReplyDeleteImponentes estes belos elefantes.

They are beautiful creatures. I was moved by your statement...then thought...horses are majestic creatures, but we ride them. Perhaps another way to look at it, in a world where wild creatures have lost their habitat, maybe having a job and a loving human to care for them is a reasonable life. Best to see the good side of things. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing animals.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you said. These amazing animals are more majestic and regal, than a human can ever be. Yet, we shackle them, make them preform for us, and ride them. Whenever humans and wild animals interact, the animal suffers for it.
ReplyDeleteI happened to notice you hadn't been by lately. I hope all is well with you. -Mac
