Elephant Rescue

Posted on July 13, 2017 by bill

They say it’s not that unusual but I’d say this is remarkable:

Swimming trunk: elephant rescued from ocean 10 miles off Sri Lanka coast

Would you be so kind
as to buy me a cup of coffee?


biopic Hi, I'm Bill Murray, obscure travel author, photographer, little known blogger and lifetime traveler. My third book is called Out in the Cold, Travel Adventures in Svalbard, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland and Canada. Go get yourself one right now.

Please check out my two previous adventure travel books, Common Sense and Whiskey and Visiting Chernobyl.

Common Sense and Whiskey, the blog, is companion to EarthPhotos.com, our collection of 20,000+ photos from 120 countries and territories around the world.

My wife and I live on a horse farm in Young Harris, Georgia, and spend parts of every summer in our tiny cabin on Lake Saimaa in Finland. Because my day job has outfitted me with audio equipment, I am available for studio quality broadcast author interviews via ISDN or SourceConnect.

As to the increased political chatter here lately, I just can't help it.

LinkedIn Bio here.
Here's where we've been and when.
