Elephants in Scotland

... and other odd animal trans-locations

The above photo of a magnificent elephant crossing a road between stone cottages in Scotland. Huh? This image is from Trans-location, a new book by photographer George Logan, depicting African animals shopped into Logan's home of Scotland: a cheetah running beside a Loch, water buffalo and Celtic cross tombstones, and the like. National Geographic has a gallery of the photos.

From NatGeo:

Logan, a gold medal winner at the Association of Photographers Awards, traveled to such locations as South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, and Botswana to photograph his subjects in their natural habitats before combining them with shots of his native Scotland, including the Isle of Skye. The idea for the book was inspired by Logan's own childhood fantasies of exotic animals being part of his familiar surroundings.
