Chai Break?

This is another case of stumbling on to the unexpected... While driving through Noida yesterday, Lesa and I came across two elephants standing at the edge of a busy intersection. There were no drivers (mahouts) attending these giant animals. No ropes attaching them to anything. No one was really even paying attention to them (except us). The elephants were just standing there in the morning sun - gently nudging each other, calmly swaying their trunks as busy traffic passed them by...
Come to find out that the elephant's "mahouts" had decided to take a chai break. The two drivers "parked" the animals on the street corner and walked to the neighborhood chaiwalla for some tea...

I absolutely love the pics which you use as a background for your blog title.....the current one is great, and the one with the Jaipur road was also amazing. Keep blogging!

Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy taking them as much as placing them on the blog banner... its great fun shooting pictures in India with so much of the unexpected all around you.
