Have you tried shooting the elephants at the NC zoo from the new rhino
overlook? It puts you kind of downhill, and you can camouflage the berm
around the east side of the elephant habitat, behind the grass.

Shoot with a reasonable tele, and you can't tell they're in a zoo.

Sorry 'bout the late reply, but I gave this group a rest for a while.

I haven't been down to that section yet. It's hard to stay still long
with the little man in tow.

Leave this group for a bit, but aren't you worried about MI5 stalking
you?

If they'd only take a picture or two of them and post it, they'd be relevant
to the group...:^)
