Logger Maximus






Location - Kakkabe,Coorg,Karnataka,India


A sprawling estate tucked away in the lower slopes of Tadiandamol, was on a yearly logging spree ..... An Elephant was called in from Kasargod to help with the activities. The loggers cut the trees and the elephant pulls it down to the road. Sounds simple but it ain't ..... Lot of effort and understanding between the pachyderm and the man is required.

The elephant and the mahout share a special relationship which easily surpasses the "Friend" theory in human society ..... This is a relationship of complete and absolute trust and is nurtured over years and years of co-existance.

These are some shots of both at work .......
