Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Asia

Yes, a very out-of-place photo to be seen on my photostream, LOL, tucked in between the flowers and the birds. I was browsing a few photos on my hard drive, deleting quite a few that I had once thought looked OK, and happened to come across this very, very old one that I had scanned ages ago. Decided to add it to my Middle and Far East Set. I know I have the definite location somewhere, but don't want to spend the time searching now - I should be getting on with the rest of my overseas Christmas letters! However, I believe I took this at The Fort (?) in Agra, India, back in 1967. We spent four days in that country en route from a short leave in England out to Borneo, where we were going to live..

Let me introduce you to Malti, the 7-week-old baby Asian elephant at the Calgary Zoo. She is now being allowed outside for a very short time, under supervision. I was so lucky this afternoon - within about 10 minutes of my arrival at the Zoo, I was right by the elephant house and so was privileged to see her for 15-20 minutes. She was born on 9th August. Her mother, Maharani, rejected her first calf in 2004, leading to the death of the baby just three weeks after it was born. Things seem to be going well this time, though.
