New Orleans, LA
Once upon a time, I was in a class where the instructor wanted us to do a primate observation for a paper. This, of course, meant a road trip to Audubon Zoo during Spring Break. I know, like I needed an excuse to go to New Orleans. ;) Anyways, a small group of us went and we managed to get to the zoo just in time to catch the Elephant Show! Which, without a doubt, I was going to stay for. For those of you who may not know, I am a nut for elephants. (puns, yay!) So, during the show, they were showing all kinds of different stances that the elephants were taught. I particularly liked this shot due to the angle and the pose of the elephant. I altered the saturation levels to make it black and white to accentuate the texture of her skin. After the show, of course, the trainers walked her down into a little area where we could touch her. Yes, I got to touch an elephant! :D I have a picture of me being overly excited about it somewhere.
