Jumbo the Elephant (1860 - 1885) was exported from Sudan, where he was born, to a zoo in Paris and then later in 1865 transferred to the London Zoo in England. In 1882, under great protest, he was sold to P.T. Barnum who took him back to his Circus in the USA.

Barnum exhibited Jumbo in Madison Square Gardens and made enough money in 3 weeks to recoup the £2,000 he had spent to purchase him. Barnum made £1.7M in the 31 week season due to his main attraction, this wonderful elephant.

Jumbo died in a train accident, right here in St. Thomas, Ontario where I live. In those days Barnum's circus traveled North America via train and many rail lines converged in St. Thomas. After their performance here that night, they were being led to their box car and another train came roaring down the track. Jumbo was hit and he died within minutes. Such a sad story.

Welcome to Endless Skys. I was born and raised in England but I emigrated to Canada over 30 years ago and currently reside in the London, Ontario region. In April 2013, I finally quit the corporate world to focus on my creative side and to learn more about myself through words and pictures. I honestly had no idea if I had a creative bone in my body, but I knew it was time for change. Since then I have simply let my life unfold, going with the flow of wherever my new journey is taking me...one day at a time. I am completely self-taught in all aspects of the art world, from learning to navigate my way around a camera, to the on-going pursuit of developing my skills with all kinds of digital software. I am a professional Digital Artist...
