Elephants march through hotel lobby after it was built on their migration trail

Amazing pictures!

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Great story! Nature will find a way. An elephant there, a bear here...
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Actually a fabulous photo in the Fasilides castle taken by a friend during travels in Gonder (correct spelling) Ethiopia. The tree roots grow into the former pool.
