Gentle giant

I met this gentle giant at Pinnawela's Elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka. Though probably not evident from the snap, he is blind on both eyes. This 'senior citizen' of 50 years was rendered so by the raging wars in his home jungles of Jaffna. My whole hearted appreciation to the people and the government of Sri Lanka for this unique orphanage for these pachyderms.

On one side man destroys...and thankfully there are some who love nature and want to conserve it!

Hey Jibi, good to hear from you too! Well, the resort at Poovar is by name Poovar Island Resort. I would give a 5* rating to this place. :-) Do pop in there if you get a chance to do so!
