Ena the Gentle Giant








Ena the 14 year old Sumatran elephant is totally devoted to her 
Mahout. 
He seldom spoke to her - preferring instead to communicate by gently stroking her head and patting her ear.
He rescued her from the Sumatran forests and together they now live in Bali.
Their unspoken trust, respect and love for each other was palpable.

    You have truly captured the essence of the bond that the two share.
    True devotion.
    An experience never forgotten.

    Very nice pictures of an elephant! And with your short wonderful story about how it saved this girl from the forests it makes it even better!

      They are really the 'gentle giants' of the forests and have a wonderful aura about them - I see such wisdom in them too. F xx
