WATER

Africa

 
 
 

An elephant at the waterhole. Four zebras at a distance, waiting.

The elephant takes no notice. The zebras hold their ground — not retreating, not advancing. They wait for the moment the larger animal will move on. Neither side asserts more than its own presence. What could be a contest is a quiet arrangement, kept by patience on one side and indifference on the other.

Single capture. No composite.
