Elk

An elk beside Highway 16 in British Columbia. What you don't see is the pile of people outside of their cars with their children within 20 meters of the animal. I took this from the drivers seat in my car. He graciously lifted his head amidst this din and gave me this pose. It was either the rack or the feet in this photo because the rack was so big. Actually I slightly cropped it to remove the pavement from the road. The shot of the people would have been interesting but too painful to share. I took this one just before a small car pulled up and stopped right next to the animal. Not only was it incredibly dangerous for the animal but also for the person in the car next to those antlers. I am fairly certain that they had the window down as well. Sight and Sound: Pictures and Music. Here are two videos for you. 1.

Why of course it would be the "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B." www.youtube.com/watch?v=qafnJ6mRbgk
