I'm easily distracted when using POV-Ray ;c} and this "happened" while
I was drawing a Great Circle map centered on my city for my other
hobby.
And yes - I did finish my map :)

Umm... I'm afraid the elephants we're talking about are a bit more than a
couple of tons.
Some tricks: make it hollow, it's only a surface, no weight. Or scale it
down, move it, and scale it up again. Also, if seen from above, you may
need little more than the trunk.

I hadn't checked your sig until Banan Banansen mentioned it. Nice one.
It took me an evening to work out the camera angles when I rendered
one a few years ago.
