A warning read : Careful, wild elephants crossing. 

:) and we turned to look around, and there they were!! Magnificent, beautiful and carefree in their natural habitat. 

We could not go any closer, but just the thrill of watching these magestic elephants towering about even from a distance was pure joy :). 

There was also a peacock luring around and playing hide in the lush green grass.

Location: On the way back from Anuradhapura, Srilanka.
