Elephant Striding by the Water
Elephants don’t just drink water; they use it for evaporative cooling, they play in it, wallow in it, bond in it, and swim across it in cases of rivers to get to greener pastures.
Here is one striding by the water at the North Carolina Zoo.

Peace of Chapel Reflections
The Chapel of Peace at Hart Square is at the lower end of Upper Lake. This old log church is a complete original circa 1871. It served an Episcopal congregation in the nearby community of Whitnel, North Carolina, and operated as a place of worship until around 1920.
The views of the chapel over the Upper Lake offer striking reflections on the water from various angles. The moon in the sky adds to the image.
