Road show
An unlikely duet, one from the jungle and one from the stage.
They're both majestic and innocent.
I didn't expect to find such disturbing information about the mistreatment of elephants. How they're treated in captivity, especially in the circus. Not to mention how they're treated in their homelands, slaughtered for ivory. It's violent and insane and I won't go into graphic detail (the information is out there and it's not hard to find), I'd rather give a tribute to the elephant's whimsical presence. In Asia they're known for their gracefulness, which is exactly why I selected the partnership. They seemed destined to join forces in graceful allure yet their paths seldom, if ever, cross.
