An Elk taken just before he crossed the stream in a meadow, the shot was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. This was just one in a herd of at least 200 elk that we watched for a about an hour. The Elk were also bugling with is an awesome thing to hear.

Oh man!! This makes me so homesick for RMNP! What a spectacular elk photo. This one screams to be matted and framed -- in an enormous size -- and hung in a rich, manly office!
