Mahout Bathing an Elephant, India
Photograph by Mohit Midha

This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos

Watching a mahout lovingly bathe his elephant, I tried capturing the moment from the riverside but wasn’t satisfied with what I saw through the viewfinder. There was something lacking that made the image not do justice to the scene. I then climbed a tree with a branch extending out over the water and got my shot, which may have been my last as I almost fell off after taking it. I’m sure the beautiful elephant would not have been very happy about me falling out of a tree straight onto her stomach!

象夫洗象,印度

本月每日一图的主题是：你的照片

看一个象夫温柔地为他的象洗澡。我试图在河岸边拍下这一场景，但始终无法对我从取景器里看到的东西感到满意。总感觉缺少什么东西，以致于画面与现实场景有所出入。于是我爬上了一棵有一根枝条伸到水面上面的树，拍下了这张照片。这有可能是我最后一次这么做，因为拍下这张照片后我差点从树上掉下来。我确定如果我从树上掉到它的肚子上，这只美丽的大象不会很高兴。

Rock Fort at Sunrise, India
Photograph by David Lazar

This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos

This photo is taken at the top of the 83-meter-high Rock Fort—the only outcrop in the otherwise flat land of the city of Trichy in Tamil Nadu, India. I awoke for the climb at sunrise, in order to capture the colours from the sun radiating over the hazy city. Looking back down, we see one of many decorative Hindu temples in the area of the Rock Fort.

本月每日一图的主题是：你的照片

这张照片拍摄于83米高的石头堡垒顶部——印度泰米尔纳德郡Trichy城平坦的大地上唯一的制高点。为了捕获日光照射在雾气缭绕的城市上时所显现出来的色彩，我在日出时就起床爬上堡垒。向下回望，我们看到了石头堡垒地区众多装饰精美的印度教寺庙中的一座。
