A two colored elephant?

Is it an elephant who has two colors of skin? Or is it the work of some graphic artist who used some imaging tool to create this effect?

Well, its none of that :D This effect was created naturally. "How?" one may ask. In fact you SHOULD ask. The answer is quite simple. Do you see the blue water body behind the elephant? This effect on the elephant was created by the water :)

Amazing. Isn't it? Did you ever think it was a half wet elephant who has just come out of a lake/river after having a nice dip in it? :D

  1. No, I wouldn't have asked because I instantly knew the reason.

    I would have been surprised had it been for a different reason. :)

  6. @all : The first thought I felt was also the same, that its water. But then seeing too straight a line of water made me go "naah..this can't be it" till I read the writeup next to it.

  9. I did immediately. An offshoot of having grown up in Kerala, where elephants or ephitants(!) are part and parcel of temple festivals:-D

  10. nm: I think this elephant just swam from the other end to this one to have been able to look like this afterwards. I had seen one documentary about swimming elephants in Srilanka. It was fun to see how calmly they were swimming in water to reach the other end. Buoyancy is natures wonder!
