Can't have safari pictures without the king... he is from South Africa - another great place for some bombastic animal viewing.
WOW Andrew you're photographs just keep getting better and better. Wish I could have been there with you when you took that piccie!! 8)
He definately looks like the King.I don't think I would want to get that close.He is such a majestic animal.
was about 20 feet from him when I took the picture. I have a really good one of a lion and lioness together. I'll post it when I find it.
Hi Andrew. Can I make a request? I am passionate about elephants and would love to see some. I always thought that bombastic meant pompous or grandiloquent speech or writing. Is this a slang way of using the word that I am just too old to know about? I love the wildlife photos so don't quit. muddy
Hi Muddy - Elephants are on their way! I believe you are correct on the meaning of bombastic however last summer I had started to hear it used to describe something fantastic... as in "it was fantastic bombastic". We were actually sitting on a balcony in Portugal talking about where we have been and what we have done and we said, wow, it's been bombastic... we really have a bombastic life and that is how the name of my site was born. (too much information?) Was is slang or was it the correct usage, I don't know but I thought if Google can become a word the way it has, then bombastic can come to mean better than fantastic. And actually yesterday I heard a song by Craig David with Fantastic Bombastic in the lyrics and then doing a search I found that Brittany Spears (not that I'm a fan of her's) has a song with it too. So wow, people have really caught on to all my hard work. Ok, TMI (to much info) I know... Off to find my best elephant pics! Andrew
Thanks for the explanation Andrew. Here's wishing you much success with your projects. Or should I say bombastic success? muddy
