I was going to say these must be some crazy talented gents but we're don't know if they're men.  I'm probably too much of a Boomer to lose the thinking I've failed as a man when I fail to prevent the death of a woman who was using military kit but I can still feel like my Feminism is true to the cause.

There's some good fun, some inexplicable fun, in the Summer for Brits.

The power of the matriarch by David Lloyd (New Zealand/UK)

In Kenya’s Maasai Mara national reserve, a herd of elephants trekked to their evening waterhole. The mellow light from the fast-setting sun emphasised every wrinkle and hair. The female leading the herd looked straight at the photographer, her eye a glowing amber dot in the heavy folds of skin. Her gaze was full of respect and intelligence.

Immediately I get a feeling of incredible wisdom in this elephant and there's a wonderfully mystical relationship between the elephant and the monkey in India where is great mysticism about it.
