Elk relax under the golden Aspen trees in Rocky Mountain National Park. Part of a harem of a large Bull, they seem to be taking a breather and just kicking back. I about flipped when I saw this scene, it was utterly gorgeous. I also have a portrait style of this shot that I will upload at some point but can be seen on my website at the moment here
