Sadly, after the last bout of earthquakes earlier in the month, poor Elephant Rock has lost his trunk and is now a humble arch. :( The good news is that there should be some new and interesting column and shapes in the new year.

Now that is cool!
Sorry about the damage to elephant rock. I think it still looks like an elephant though.
That is sad to see the elephant lose his trunk.
That's a lot of damage but considering the earthquake, it's not surprising.
Wow! What a vista. So sad only part of it remains. I bet you're glad you have that first great shot.
That must have been some earthquake to shatter Elephant Rock like this. Impressive before and after photos. Thank you for hosting this blog.
What an apt name for this rock formation! Thanks for hosting Betty:)
I've never been there but I've seen photos of it - shame some of it has disappeard but I'm sure it's still quite eye catching.
That is a big chunk taken off. I never saw this before but it still looks impressive.
Wow, geology happens I guess.
aawww poor elephant. But aren't the forces of geology and nature amazing! Wishing you a wonderful 2017.
Aww, what a shame! That was a cool elephant :( Nature is amazing. Hope something else wonderful will soon appear!
Heisann, rare cliff, interesting! Have a nice Christmas time ;:OD)
That is a shame. I don't think 'headless elephant rock' has the same ring to it.
So sad, but still very interesting! Happy New Year!
