Circus! - the Elephants


There were three elephants and their accommodation is near to the heliport. You can see the circus tent in the background. We are in Fontvieille - on land reclaimed from the sea.

The elephants look content and well fed, although I have no expertise. They've got a few tree trunks to move about. I remember last year seeing one of the elephants rocking back and forth, which perhaps indicated stress. Not so, this year.

Tomorrow, we see where the elephants sleep during their stay in Monaco.

Guess the trip to monaco is just the de-stressing that these elephants need. Such a huge and magnificient creatures. Hope those tree trunks are gently moved about and not thrown about!!! haa.
