Description

A person rides an elephant as another person walks alongside the elephant with a large green leaf, presumably to provide additional protection from the rain. The elephant and the two people are walking on a wet road reflecting the sky. The person riding the elephant holds a black umbrella. The person walking next to the elephant is wearing a colourful wrap-around skirt and is barefoot. Lush green foliage is visible in the background under an overcast sky. The overall scene suggests a humid climate.
