Photography by Basil

Sunset in Sedona, AZ. I post processed the photo to alter the color imparting this sepia tone like effect but still retaining some hints of the original color (Sedona, AZ around 2013)

Here's a different side of an elephant. I love how rough and textured their hide is - all those "nooks and crannies," light and dark valleys. Interesting stuff (Knysna, S. Africa).
Reminds me of the parable of the blind men and the elephant (https://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/blind-men-and-the-elephant.htm). Here's part of the last verse -
"The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Then, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," -quoth he,- "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"
