Thanks so much, Reuel. This road is an old railroad bed where I walk my Apres Ski dog. I shot the sunlight pooring into the trail (which I loved as it was) but then I was a guest on a talk show where we talked about changing historical records with manipulated photos. As soon as I got home I grabbed a royalty-free elephant photo and worked it into the road shot, wondering if people in the future will see the photo and exclaim, "Look, there were elephants in New Hampshire in 2005!"

It was quite an exercise in masking and lighting. I'm glad you like the results. It's been very popular. #2188585
