Elephant and Mt. Kilimanjaro

The poster shot, Africa's biggest mammal and biggest Mountain. Would have been nice to get more snow on the peak.

I'm sure you are familiar with the opening lines of Hemingway's great short story, "The snows of Kilimanjaro," but - especially because of your avatar image - I couldn't resist quoting it here. Unbelievably, many versions of the story leave out these opening lines which I think among the best I have read. Again, great image!

"Kilimanjaro is a snow covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai "Nigaje Nigai," the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude."
